Is it possible to get temporary custody of my children all our divorce proceedings are pending

Possible?  Sure.  Under the statutes, the divorce court can make any temporary orders it deems appropriate during the pendency of a divorce.  Of course, getting into court in less than a week is going to be a challenge, and probably impossible.  Until then, you and your wife have exactly equal legal rights to the kids, including as to school choice, so if you are living in separate places, there may be 2 possible school zones.  Usually -- but not always -- school choice follows primary custody; if custody is joint, it might be a matter of decision, which it probably should be in any event. For some background information, see http://willicklawgroup.com/child-custody-and-visitation/, but you really should at least consult with a family law specialist on such matters if you are trying to avoid mistakes that could be long-lasting, or even permanent.
