Yes. You can lose custody if you are reported to the court for any manner of child endangerment or neglect which may include any of the following factors that are used to declare a parent unfit:

  • physical, emotional and sexual abuse
  • excessive discipline
  • failure to protect the child from abuse by others
  • failure to report abuse of the child
  • neglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schooling
  • failure to provide proper medical care
  • failure to provide day to day parental care
  • serious illness or disability
  • mental illness
  • substance abuse or addiction
  • Alcoholism
  • criminal activity and/or associations
  • incarceration
  • conduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the child
  • abandonment
  • child endangerment
  • leaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child
  • a failure to provide adequate supervision
  • unsafe living conditions
  • a medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child

The following actions can also cause a parent to lose custody:

  • continued refusal to obey a court order regarding visitations rights of the non-custodial parent
  • moving the child from the jurisdiction of the court without a court order

You may have to pay child support to the one who has custody of your children.


Can father with full custody lose child to step daughter if mother dies?

Can he? Yes. Will he? No one can predict. The courts always try to make an objective decision regarding custody based on the best interests of the child if a petition for modifications to custody is heard before them. If the court finds that the child's interests would be better served with you, the child will remain with you. If not, an alternate placement will be arranged.


How does a man get full custody of children without marriage?

If you were not married when the child was born you have to prove paternity in court by a DNA test and if she refuses you can get a court ordered one. Then you can petition for custody, visitation and pay child support. Unless the mother is unfit they will not give you full custody though.


If one parent has full custody of a child and that parent dies will the living parent get the child?

Yes, unless the living parent has a court order not allowing them to be with the child in that case the child would go to the next relative that is willing to take the child. The surviving parent will still have to go to court to have the custody awarded to him/her. After all, the court felt there was a good reason that the full custody award was rendered in the first place.


What is the difference between having full cusody and having primary custody?

Full custody is defined as one parent of a child having sole control over a minor child with the other having no custodial rights. Primary custody means that both parents share custody (also known as joint custody) but the primary custodian is the parent that the child spends most fo their time with/lives with on a regular basis. In other words, the parent that is not the primary custodian is the one that has the visitation rights.


If One parent has full custody but child wants to live with noncustodial parent?

They recently changed the laws of custody, No one parent has full custody UNLESS they see the other parent as unstable and unfit. If the parent you want to live with has been deemed unfit as a parent then it will have to be taken to court or you can contact certain child organizations to give you more details about how to leave your current home and return to the home of an "unfit parent" However if one parent obtained full custody of the child and the other parent was not deemed unfit as a parent, you may still live with them because of the recent change in custody laws, stating no one parent can have full or primary custody. (in other words, if your mom has full custody and your dad has none ((Also assuming the father hasn't been charged with being a drug addict, alcoholic, or financially unstable etc.)) you may live with the father)

If you have full custody of one child it's the other parent that should pay you child support for that child. You need to go back to court to correct this.

Your other half wants to go for custody of his daughter She is five and has always lived with her mother and two brothers Her dad works and her mom does not Is it worth him going for custody?

This is a legal question and an attorney should be consulted, however, visitation should be attainable, but full custody of one child, removing her from the family home where there are siblings would be doubtful. Unless there are compelling reasons for the child to be removed and custody given to the birth father, like abuse, the chances of full custody are nil.
