What will happen to the children and the home in a divorce if one parent doesn’t have a job?

I am so sorry for your situation and I can tell from your question that it is causing you some anxity about what the future will hold.  What happens with custody (who gets physical custody as well as decision making rights) and what happens with the house will differ in every case so there is no way to tell you for sure what will happen here.  The facts of each case will determine the outcome along with the rights of the individual parties involved.  A stay at home Mother is a recognized "profession" under the law and the law takes these factors in to consideration depending on the age of the children and the abilities of the spouse to work outside the home.  There is something called spousal support or maintenance (also called alimony) that the court can award the spouse that is unemployed outside the home.  There is also child support which takes in to consideration food, shelter and clothing.  Child support and alimony are calculated using a formula set by statutes in your state.  This gives the parent that does not have a job outside the home the ability to continue to take care of the children and likely stay in the house.  The parent that does not stay in the house could also agree to pay a portion of the mortgage.  Again, the facts here matter.  I am hopeful that your parents will set aside their differences for the welfare of their children and come to an agreement that everyone can live with.  Please go and speak with your counselor at school to discuss all this, okay?  Good luck.
