Answer:

There are many factors the courts consider when deciding how to grant custody and they look to the best interest of the children. There is no way to tell you what the court would do in your case for custody at this point. If you and your wife could agree on custody terms and enter into an agreement the court may accept what you agree to when a custody, separation or divorce action is filed.
