    As a rule, the home and the education of the children take the husband/father’s customs. So, in your scenario, the children would be brought up using Ashkenazic customs. However, there are always reason why that does not have to be so in any one given case. In those circumstances, a local authority should be consulted to ascertain what is the correct thing to do.
