An illegal alien slated for deportation can sue for full custody if he or she wants. However, it is extremely unlikely to be granted. The courts will normally side with the parent who is remaining in the US.
if they got married to someone who wasn't illegal then she wouldn't be illegal. so she would get the children
well they would have to be adopted or the friend would have to be a foster home
As regards a father, even ones who were born here win in less than 15% of the cases.

That depends on the Judge, the law of the state where they are, and the specific of the custody request.
You divorce and get custody over your kids or just get full custody!
