I have always heard the court system is bias in favor of the woman in many cases however what are circumstances in which sole custody will be awarded to the father?

When it is shown to be better for the child. It happens a lot more than you think. Most of the time, it’s shared custody, so both parents share in the custodial duties instead one just having custody and the other visitation rights.

My wife and I are separated, and we work out custody to both of our benefits. She works nights, and usually has her days off (3 or 4 days) in the middle of the week, so those are the days she has the kids. The other days, I will have the kids. We both have custody, and it works out great (not as great as if we were still together, but as great as we can make it under the circumstances).

Can father win the custody of child in case of divorce? What should I do to get custody and what proof should i show them to get custody that i can take better care for my child?

Your lawyer should prove that the other parent is incompetent of providing for and looking after the child you can good details about it at http://howtowincustodyasafather.com

In the last 6 months my ex and I split up. It was a verbally/physically abusive relationship. I have filled for child support and in return he has filled for full custody of both our children, stating the children are better off living with him. I would like to know what grounds the judge would give full custody to the father?

Any determination of custody is based on the "best interest of the child/children."

Do you have a record of his verbal/physical abuse?

I want to gain sole custody of my 18month old daughter but am starting to lose hope because everywhere I’ve read its all for the mother. Has there been any cases where the father won custody? What were the circumstances?

If you want your partner’s childs to have visit rights, most likely you aren’t going to get ‘sole’ custody.

I have primary physical custody of my son in law, joint legal custody (meaning God forbid if there was an accident while he was with his dad and they couldn’t get a hold of me, his father could tell the doc’s to do whatever they needed to do).

a lot of courts won’t take a baby away from living with it’s mother primarily unless she’s proven to be unable to care.

Call your local juvenile district relations court, they will inform you what you need to do, what papers you need to fill out, etc. It’s quite a complex process. I filed back in early july and we finally got everything sorted out 9 months later.

There are a company I worked with during this stressful time of my life. They really guided me a lot. I cannot imagine what I would have done if it was not for them. click the link below for more info.

Another note – if you have any questions, feel free to send me an email. Unfortunately I’ve been thru this stuff before, so I’d be happy to give you some advice if I can !

He was not aware his daughter existed until she was 3. She is now 14. The Mother has always drawn from the state so back child plus interest is being paid to the state and forwarded to the Mother. As of April this year the Mother signed custody over to her father because ‘she could not deal with her any more.’ My question, now that he as custody, should the money he is repaying the state still be going to the Mother?

in most cases, yes

The 14 year old kid has been living with his mother for 7 years after they got divorced. Now the mother lost her job but still wants primary custody asking for more support. But the father wants to get custody of the kid instead of paying support. However, the kid stated that he doesn’t want to live with him. What is the chance of the father getting custody?

Yes, if it is in the best interest of the child. As for what the child wants, that will say what the mother wants to hear.

My childs father is 23, no job, no car, lives with his stepmom, and just moved to Oklahoma. Now he wants to take me to court for custody.

I am 19, I work in a hospital doing admissions full time, live in my own 3 bdrm apartment with 1 room mate, and provide everything for my daughter.

Do you think he has a chance at getting joint custody?

He has no chance in hell of getting custody. Even if he did have a job, the mother usually get custody.

The child is born in the US but the father is from another country he makes more money than the mom. He is threaten the mom by saying he will when cause he has lots of rights. But the father abuses the mom can he still et custody?

If they live in the US, he has no legal rights to the child in any state, and even if he were to win, the child would have to remain in the US. So, the usual allegations of abuse won’t even need to be used.

If something were to happen to me while my child is still young, can I draw up a will that will prevent her father from getting custody? He is behind on child support and he barely sees her. If he can’t do right by her now I’m afraid of what would happen if I’m not around.

As most fathers are unemployed, and don’t knwo they get free help to modify the order, then being behind in support is not unexpected. As for seeing the child, in 40% of the cases, the mothers are denying them access and telling everyone "he barely sees" the child. As for the Will, yes you can but he can challenge it in Probate court. I teach fathers how as this is a common practice for most Gatekeeper mothers.

I have a baby who is 13 months old. I am not with the father but am engaged to another man whom I’ve been with since I was 3 months pregnant. Biological dad told me to have an abortion & then commit suicide. He never wanted to be a part of his life until after he were born and I said no because he has a criminal record and drug abuse. He has seen my son maybe 5 times since he was born now all of a sudden wants custody. What are the chances of this?

There’s no way hes gonna get partial custody! First, the courts take criminal records and drug abuse into consideration when determining the custody of a child. Second, he wanted nothing to do with the child up until now and wanted yu to do all of those horrible things. I think, there’s no way of him getting any kind of custody…he’d be lucky if he even gets visitation…
