It is going to vary depending on the state, but I know in Maryland the father gets them. Added: USUALLY the non-custodial parent will be awarded full custody. HOWEVER - it can vary depending upon the circumstances and a decision of the court. If the non-custodial parent's rights are challenged, a hearing will have to be held to demonstrate whether or not some other family member may be a more "fit" guardian to raise the children.
