The answer depends on several factors: how the property was titled, the age of the children, the laws in your state and whether your father left a will.
In most states a parent cannot disinherit his minor children. In many states a parent can disinherit his adult children but some states impose rules on how to do it. If a parent died without a will their solely owned property will pass according to the state laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link.
You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and explain your rights and options.

In Tennessee who gets the children the one who leaves the house or the one who stays?
If mother and father can not agree upon this issue then it will most likely go to court. Depending on the age of the children and the courts impression of mother and father, they would most likely favour the Mother, especially if she gets house. It is harder for a father to get custody of children, but providing children want to stay with him, and he keeps house... then the chances are high. This is no simple question with only one answer. Other implications apply.
