Thank you for asking this question! Full custody of a child is seldom granted to one parent or the other as long as both parents are involved at all in the care and support of the child. There are those occasions when one parent suffers from addiction, severe mental health, or other issues where the parent is not a competent parent. There are also situations where a parent is neglectful of the child by failing to visit with the child for an extended period of time and failing to provide financial support. Each child custody case is different and we would be pleased to discuss your situation with you in detail.
