What are a father's obligations or responsibilities to his children? Is there any guidance on what happens to those obligations or responsibilities after a divorce? Is there any guidance on what a father should provide in terms of financial and emotional support?

BLR, welcome to Mi Yodeya, and thanks for bringing your question here! It seems to me that this question is intended to specifically address a father's responsibilities post-divorce. If so, I recommend that you [edit] both the title and body to focus specifically on that.

See gemarah Kiddushin 29 which says a father is obligated to circumcise his son, redeem him (if he is a firstborn), teach him Torah, marry him off, teach him a trade, and (according to some) teach him how to swim. See daf 30 for chinuch.
