If you're in NYS then that house is a marital asset and part yours anyway.

I agree with brad, have your husband put the house in your name so you can refinance.

There are three basic rights when it comes to children;

1. Legal custody rights is who can make decisions such as medical and schooling.
2. Custody rights is who the children will live with.
3. Visitation rights to the non-custodial parent.

Often divorced spouses will share joint legal custody and one will be the primary custodial parent and the other enjoys visitation rights.

As to the house you might ask your spouse to quit claim it to you and refinance. If he won't the house will be resolved in the final settlement.
