VerifiedThank you for using Just Answer, the web’s preeminent expert information source! My name is ***** ***** I will be assisting you today.
This is a back-and-forth chat format. Some questions require more detailed answers than others.
If it takes a moment for me to respond it is because I am indeed working on answering your question so you can expect a thoughtful, informational response.
I am sorry to hear about what is happening. I know that these situations can be both stressful and difficult, and we’ll do our best to provide the information needed to address them.
To win this case, you must provide evidence of parenting ability: Courts look for evidence that the parent requesting custody is genuinely able to meet the child's physical and emotional needs, including food, shelter, clothing, medical care, education, emotional support, and parental guidance.
The legal definition of an unfit parent is when the parent through their conduct fails to provide proper guidance, care, or support. Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit.
If any part of my answer does not make sense to you, please, do not hesitate to ask for clarifications.
Thank you very much!
