Wow. Ok, is it a definite that he's actually going to take the job? Could he just be thinking about it? Could he just be mentioning it to upset you?

As a father, I couldn't imagine leaving my kid for a year, so it doesn't even really compute with me how or why he would do that. I'm going to assume that he knows most of whatever he makes at that job is going to go to you for child support.

So my advice would be to just wait and see what happens. I wouldn't tell your kids anything about it. If he wants to, then he can. No use upsetting them (and yourself) before anything's definite.
