littleGTO, it depends on your state. All family law is slightly different. In some jurisdictions the parent that has custody for the most part is entitled to payment for the home that those kids live in. But the parent who does not have custody still has to provide for other things as well beyond just the home. It just really depends on the laws where you live so you really need to contact a lawyer to determine your entitlements.
And to be clear, I am distinguishing "legal custody" from "visitation". It is possible for one parent to have custody while the other has 100% open visitation. I don't think any parent should be not allowed to see their children. It's just that the parent with custody gets to make decisions about where they live, health care, etc. It is also possible to have shared custody where you have them for the most part but he can have a say over where they live, healthcare, big decisions, etc.
