There are too many issues to even discuss whether that will or will not make a difference. Talk with your attorney.

Income is not a consideration when determining what is in the best interest of the child concerning custody.

No, courts look to the best interest of the children and look to how their care has been divided between the two of you until the separation. Income will be used to determine child support and spousal support (assuming you have requested the court to order those things).

Your income situation is not generally a reason to remove children from your home. Once child support starts getting paid, that should improve your income situation.
