More details to this question:
I have been a homemaker for over 6 years and I have nothing as a result. I have no leg to stand on but I want my children with me. I home-school them and he is hardly with them. It seems like he likes the "Idea" of being a father but never really is.

If you and he are living separately, you can go to family court and file a petition for custody. If you are still living under the same roof, you can go to the Supreme Court and file a divorce action, and address the custody issue there. You may want to talk to a lawyer to discuss all of your options. If you are the primary care-taker, then you may have an advantage in seeking custody. A lawyer will explain your rights and options in better detail. Good luck!
