If the mother has interrupted her career more than the father for her children, surely she has the better argument for custody? Custody should depend on how the children are treated, not on how hard the mother found it/finds it to get a job. The father would probably have to work less when they have custody of the children anyway.
That's dependent on the preponderance of the evidence in the case. But, in the real world, that generally only applies to a non-working father.
Having no income is not a reason for making a change in custody. The father should be paying child support so the mother has some income coming into the home.
depends on his situation as well

You could make a good attempt to get main custody, but the mother would likely be allowed visitation etc. if she has a job and such herself.
Trying to help my daughter get out of her abusive relationship, she has no job ,no money and a 3 year old.how do I help her,welfare court orders for the child,custody. We're does she start what does she need to do.please help me help her!
Filing for child support has no bearing on the issue of custody. Custody is decided on the basis of the welfare of the child. To get custody of a child, the father would have to demonstrate that he would do a better job as parent. I will add that even if you do need financial assistance, that does not in any way suggest that you are not a good mother. Those are separate issues.
A job
You have to be emancipated. You have to show the court that you can support yourself. Get a job, place to stay, food, clothing, everything on your own. Not on welfare or staying with someone. Hard to do at 18, even harder at 16 or younger.
It depends on your state's custody laws. For example, California is a "mother state" where the only way a mother can be denied full custody of her children is if she is so grossly unfit that she is institutionalized. Other states may prefer the father, but generally very few states have a non-gender-biased ideal behind custody laws.
Find a job asap. Good luck.
your dad hes family u can find a job at the Atlanta job fair in Atlanta GA
You can request that the grandparents take over the job of raising the children (presumably because you no longer feel capable of doing it yourself) and if they agree, then you just do it. If they don't agree, you can't force them. Your alternative is to turn the children over the a state child welfare agency.
Changes to your custody order would need a very good reason. The fathers better job does not sound like a sufficient reason. The child's opinion doesn't count. Though as she gets older it will be hard to stop her if she has her mind set on joining him.
