Q: My ex is very in consistent with our 2 year old daughter is it possible that he will get custody?
My ex is in and out of our daughters life and only gets involved when it is convenient for him he does nothing to support her he can’t even show up to work on time let alone everyday... he drinks all day everyday and can’t keep stable living, domestic relations can’t find an address for him for the past mi tu now... he has another child who is in the custody of the state.... he says he is going to fight for custody of our daughter because that is the only way they will give him his other child...
A: Custody cases are very fact specific. Him saying that he is going to fight for custody and him actually going through the process are two very different things. The simple fact of the matter is there are 16 custody factors that the judge is charged to consider. Your best bet is to consult with an experienced family law attorney and determine how to best present your case on those 16 factors. He is entitled to some visitation, but is unlikely to win full custody.
