Hello Mr Thom,
I'm the local Law Advisor, although I'm fresh at it, I've seen some similar cases in the past.
Firstly, if nobody directly caused the family split, there should be a 50/50 right to custody. But as it appears like you caused the divorce, I'd assume your ex-wife will have more good will in a case like thgis, and might win custody to the kids. You should still see them, and they can live with you 2 simdays per week, but you can't claim them, one or all, to live permanently at your place. Whatever the result will be, you and your ex-wife can make any agreement at any time.
It sounds like your job is very demanding and that you are away from home periodically. You can not expect your ex-wife to agree to a deal that is based on your working schedule. Your work hs nothing to do with this conflict, and you can't expect her to plan her life depending on what time you are on the road.
My advice to you would be to accept that the kids stay with their mother, but invite them to visit you often. Make sure to keep a strong relation. That way it will also be easier for you to handle both the contact with your children and your career.
Eventually - if the children wants to, you could suggest that each child can choose whether they like to move in with you when they reach teenhood.
If you follow the normal Sim Nation laws, you might need to pay a small sum of Simoleons per child, to help covering costs raising them.
Good luck.
