QUESTION: If I initiate the divorce and leave my wife, will she get full custody of our children? Will my reason for leaving influence the court's decision on child custody? What if I leave the house entirely during the divorce? Will my wife get full custody of our children?
MY RESPONSE:
You will have better chances of getting better custodial rights with your children if you don't leave your children during the divorce.
If you do leave, you should quickly seek child custody rights from the Court, because if the children get used to living with your wife and without you, the Court may be reluctant to uproot your children from the person and place they have been accustomed to being with.
The reasons why you want to leave (which you didn't reveal in your question) might or might not bear on the court's custody rulings - I can't tell without knowing your reasons.
Your relationship with your children and your wife's relationship with your children and your and your wife's relationship with each other are things that would be of interest to the Court in making its custody determination.
