Your best bet is to get a family attorney and fight for at least joint custody where the kids spend equal time with you as mom. Hopefully time with your kids is just as important to you as not getting screwed on child support.

Most of the time equal custody isn't possible or if it is its not what is best for the kids. Kids need to have structure and spending every other week at a different home is just not very good for kids. That's not even taking school into the equation. Equal time is impossible if you're in the same town.
