If you get divorced, then you will no longer be considered a dependent of your husband's visa status & would either need to leave the country or find another non-immigrant visa to apply for on your own.

As for the custody issue, you would need to speak with a Family Law Attorney in Florida, but you definitely have rights to your children in the United States, so don't let your husband threaten you.

Good Luck.
