You must petition the court that has jurisdiction and present argument and evidence to demonstrate to the court that your gaining custody of the child is in the child's best interest.

In the state of Washington, if the parents are unmarried the 'tender age' doctrine suggests that the mother will usually have an advantage in a custody dispute ceteris paribus.

If the parents have been married they begin on a even playing field in the event of a dispute.
