Mother has had the child with here since birth and after father walked out almost a year ago. Child is only about 20-21 months old. Father has now decided he wants to get custody after giving custody to the mother in temporary hearing back in March. Says that because the mother is unemployed right now at this time and is looking to move out of state for a job she should lose custody. He states that he's more fit to be the parent and take care of the child because he is employed full time.
Father only executes half of the court appointed visitations, and when the child comes home he is always severly dehydrated and hungry. Motion has been filed for an appointment of a guardian ad litem and at first mother was told the case would be over in august but now could be october at the latest.
Mother has no record and is in fact an educator with a nanny for the child since birth. nothing will change but the location of where the child lives.
do you think the father can win custody of the child? What evidence can he use other than unemployment to try and get custody? What if the guardian ad litem doesn't do the case unbias...how does the mother fight back? father's father has a history of molestation of his own child and alcohol abuse. father's mother is undiagnose bipolar and he doesn't have child care. He works and goes to school full-time with no time at home or funds to put child in daycare.
Help!!!Would this cause a change in custody?IF you can prove the child molestation and alcohol abuse there's no chance that a judge is going to give this man custody! Being unemployed is not grounds for change of custody.
