More details to this question:
I am currently separated from my husband and he says he would like shared custody. I have been a stay at home mom for 14 years and I also home school our 6 children. My husband works a lot of course. Would I be required to obtain employment? We agreed while we were together on the arrangement and the children are doing well. I figured we continued the lifestyle we lived and not cause too many changes in our children's lives. He can see them whenever he wants and with him working all the time, he would have to find childcare.

I would suggest you engage an attorney, under the circumstances and previous agreements it would seem you have the upper hand.

You need to talk with your attorney. I doubt he will get more than joint legal and shared physical with you having primary physical.

Custody is not at issue in WA. Residential time and decision making authority is. He will certainly get the kids for more than 5 hours a week if he wants them since it doesn't sound like there is any reason he shouldn't. You will have to get a job. The kids can and the court will likely order them to go to school. You can't get divorced and continue the same lifestyle.
