Will my spouse automatically get custody of my child/children if I am the one who moves out first? (so I don't have to be in the same home with him while finalizing the separation/divorce)

Can't you take your kid(s) with you?
Even if you can't he will not automatically get custody, that will be decided in court, it could be joint custody where you get them one week, he gets them the next week.
To improve your chances of sole custody, you need to have a good home and a good job, make sure he pays child support and also make sure that he is responsible for health care. If you and your husband own your home try to have the home become yours until the kid(s) are of legal age, after that the home can be sold and the money divided.
I hate to see any marriage end in divorce because it is hard on the kids, my wife and I have been married 34 years and I joke with her about getting a divorce after all of the kids have died (yeah, I know it sounds sick but it really means that I don't want to ever get a divorce)
Good luck to you, I hope you get the kids but please don't poison them against their father, they need both of you.

Joke!!!!! I work she won't so I gotta pay her share and take my kid 50% of time, I would gladly take 100% financial and physical care of my kid and even grant her 50% visitation then she wouldn't have a worry in the world but of course child court is all about money not the best interest of child as they claim! I don't need her at all, only reason I didn't file full custody was my kid loves her! If person man or women can't do they're part they shouldn't have they're kid, hope that answers your question!

The remaining parent will have the custody of the children in case the other spouse abandons the family home.

Talk to an attorney before you do anything. Many offer a free consultation. They will be able to advise you on the laws which govern in your state. The one thing I have learned in life is that little in law is automatic and the best laid plans reap the best results.

No. That has nothing to do with it. You need to take them with you when you go.
