On the Contact Form or on A Business Card?
Which version of Outlook?
You could edit the Contact form to add user fields for Children if you want.
There should be a tutorial at Office Online if you aren't familiar with
doing custom forms.

I would like to show/have a field where i can type in a contact's
children's
names on the details tab of a contact card.

For some strange reason it is easily done on my Smartphone (i.e. the field
is shown for you to fill out), but i cannot find a way to do it in Outlook
itself.
