Custody - Does it matter who leaves?

Does anyone know if it matters which spouse leaves?
I'm contemplating either staying in the house (rented not owned) or the kids and I finding an apartment.
I don't want something like that to go against me.

Thank you for any help/advice!

I don't know about TX, but I left my first husband and took the children with me. It didn't matter at all. Custody will go to the parent who is best able to care for them, and in FL extra consideration is given to the parent who "will foster an ongoing relationship with the other parent." Not sure if that helps you, but there it is.

I moved out WITH kids, I couldn't stay in the home "we" had made, with memories and everything. I'm getting Custody and although I questions my stbx judgment on a lot of things, He knows, I'm what's best for our kids.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
