I am not quite sure of the question. The two of you have four children. You are getting divorced. Both of you will be legally required to financially support the minor children. Both of you will stand on equal footing for custody of the four children. As for the house, if you can afford to buy him out of the equity in the house and refinance the mortgage, then you possibly can be awarded the house.
