I am assuming you were living in the house and being dad full time (as much as possible being military) before you were deployed. I hope the courts will take this into account. I also believe you will not be deployed any-more?
As my lawyer said, "it is your to loose". I took this to mean full time dad during your parenting time. Get the house and rooms set-up for the kids. Flexible work schedule. Able to pick the kids up from school, drop them off. Areas set-up for study time.
