Legal Question in Family Law in Florida

Dad's chances

I'd like to know what the chances are that a judge would grant me custody of my 2 kids, in my home, and have their mother find another place? She has been screeming divorce for about 2 weeks, and becasue I'm hurt, I want to talk about it, and at first, work it out. Now I'm just focused on the fact that the discussions have always included me finding a place. Her parents are wealthy and live 5 min from the house, she could stay there, save us a ton, and see the kids whenever. What are the chances?
