At AlAnon you will find other people with kids, an excellent source of information for you about how they have handled things (maybe even things like custody, because AlAnon has men there too).
Plus, there always seems to be lots of information on community resources that could help you and your family (kids). That would include info on counseling for them, AA programs for them (if they are old enough), etc.
Even if you get divorced and get custody, you (and your kids) will still be interacting with your alcoholic wife. AlAnon can provide much insight into the dynamics involved, and help you find safe ways to live with that. Your kids, too.
