mother can physically take care of the children, and tend to them. the legal custody is father's duty. this is obviously to protect the women, and to take the economical weight off their shoulders.
It depends on the age of the children,if they r young their mother takes custody of them,but in elder age the man take it as they need a woman more in younger age and need a man in elder age.
Different Imaams have different view in this. If I remember correctly, ^that is Imaam Ahmad's. According to him, if the mother remarries, then the child's custody goes to the aunts/uncles from the mother's side. If there isn't any, then the grandmother from the paternal side. [That was from memory. It can be incorrect].
AFAIK it is the hanafi, shafi'i, maliki and hanbali views that the mother takes the child, there is some disagreement whether she keeps him or not after he is mature enough to choose.

Jazkallah khair for replying, erm I dont get it how is taking your children away protecting the woman?
I understand the money issue. Isnt it best for children to remain with the mother? Doesnt the father still have to provide for his children even if he doesnt live with them?
