Q: My child’s mother posted a video of him driving her car while on her lap.He’s 8,would I win sole custody?
A: The courts award custody based on the best interests of the child. You haven't given enough information about the circumstances for anyone to know the severity of the act. If they are sitting in her driveway, or driving in an empty back-road at two miles an hour, the court may not view that as a big deal. However, if they are driving at 70 mph down the freeway, that would be putting the child in an unnecessary risk.
