Asked in Child Custody and Family Law for North Dakota

Q: Can the mother lose custody if she lets our son hang around a sex offender who failed to register?

I would like to get custody of my son and I was told by friends that they had an experience where the mother let their child hang around a sex offender and she lost full rights as a parent. I'm also in that situation and I was just wondering if it's possible.
