Re: guardian for child
Yes, you can have a separate Last Will and Testament. In many case I advise seperate bequeathals. But, you cannot avoid a spousal share when elected.
Moreover, you may not be able to effectively invoke guardianship over a parental right. This, of course, depends on many facts involved with raising of the children.

Yes, but if you die simultaneously (a highly unlikely event) and his will conflicts with yours, the Court will be deciding the issue.
