Yes you can and you can get child support from the father including some child care and health insurance coverage for the children. Custody is determined by the b est interests of the children so if you are a fit parent who can raise your children even though you have no job you can be awarded custody. If you need more help apply for public assistance.

Absolutely yes. But you have to show that you can somehow provide for them between support payments and any other money or benefits you receive.
