In Alabama parties to a divorce are typically entitled to an equitable (fair) division of what's been acquired during the marriage. It would be helpful to know how an item was purchased and how it's titled, whether there is a prenuptial agreement, and to some extent the facts surrounding the breakdown of the marriage. All of these things can impact how property is divided in a divorce.
As for custody, a judge is charged with awarding custody in a way that will be in the best interest of the children. There are many factors that are important in determining best interest and a judge would look at a variety of circumstances like fitness of either parent, age of children, ability of each parent to co-parent and more. Furthermore, if there are safety or welfare concerns about the children being with one parent those would be important facts to consider as well.
Each divorce is a different as the people involved in it. It's important that you talk with an attorney about your specific facts and case to fully understand your options and how the law may apply to you.
