In general terms any actions that constitute abuse and/or neglect and/or endangerment as established by the laws of the state where he and the child/children reside. For example if the child/children are left without proper supervision in an unsafe environment (which depending upon the ages could include the home), not receiving adequate medical care, chronic absenteeism from school, obviously any physical abuse, and so forth. In some cases a court considers a single parent's lifestyle choices such as a live-in partner to be an endangerment to the child/children's emotional well-being.

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)

Who will get full custody of your child you or the father?
Most often the mother gets physical custody but the court can award joint legal custody if the parents get along well and have the best interest of the child as their mutual priority. If the father wants physical custody, generally, he will need to show that the mother is unfit and the child would be better off with him. In that case the court must be provided with evidence of the mother's unfitness and each jurisdiction has its own criteria. See the related question.

When would one parent get sole custody of children?
If you are a father. You must prove the mother unfit, drugs, abuse, prison record, etc... IF you are a mother, depending on the state you live in they would allow soul custody because you are the mother. If the father is unfit and you live in Utah and/or California where they are for the father as well and want to do joint custody in most of those two states, the father must pretty much be unfit such as abuse, drugs and/or prison record for the mother to get full custody. That is pretty much when the only time I have known any parent to get full custody of their children.

As unfortunate as this may be it is possible for the father to get custody of the baby, but not full custody unless the mother is proven unfit. Because reguardless of what happened between the couple the father is still the father of the child, and the father still has his rights as a father to be a part of his child's life.

Can a child live with his father if the mother has parental responsibilty?
If a child's mother has sole custody then the courts have decided this and there is a reason for it. Generally, if the mother is a good mother (fit mother) then the children will be looked after by her with the father having partial custody to see his children. If the father is unfit, then the mother would have full custody. If you are the child asking the question and are upset because your mother has house rules and you don't always agree with them then this is not a good reason to want to live with your father. Your mother gives you these responsibilities so you will learn good characteristics that will make your life a whole lot simpler. You may not see that now, but will in the future. If this is the father asking the question and you have partial custody the courts have deemed it this way for a reason. If the mother is unfit and the father wants to take full custody then you should retain a lawyer asking for full custody.
