What is the best way for a father to prove he is the better parent for a 8 month to one year old infant?

I was going to skip this but Ollie your way off base. There is no way to prove it unless the mothers on drugs or something. As long as children have either a mother or father in their lives. That loves them and takes care of them they will be fine.What is the best way for a father to prove he is the better parent for a 8 month to one year old infant?
I don't know that mothers are always naturally the best parents for a kid, regardless of whether the kid's a boy or a girl (and I'm a mom myself). I mean, you see lots of single moms raising sons and while there's an acknowledgement that you might want to find good male role models, it's not like the courts automatically award custody of boy children to their dads and girl children to moms.


Look, my daughter's father and I don't live together but I try not to badmouth him to her because....that's her dad! If your daughter's mother is threatening you and has a quick temper, plus has tried to commit suicide, I think you may have a case that her time and energy should be devoted to taking care of herself not taking care of your daughter. Please document these behaviors and be willing to back them up with witnesses if you have any. Courts do tend to award custody to the moms but I think you have a case.What is the best way for a father to prove he is the better parent for a 8 month to one year old infant?
I definitely agree with Ollie on this one. Unless the mother is using drugs or his harmful to herself or the baby, then they do want the babies to be with the mother. A child that young needs to be with her mother, yes she needs to be with the father too, but more so with her mother. This is the hard part of divorce or split families. Now if she neglects, harms your daughter, or uses drugs, then get you a lawyer and follow their advice. If the mother is doing that, the baby needs to be with you.
What is the other parent doing, because unless it is SERIOUSLY bad than it is best for the baby to be with her mother. When you separate a baby from the mother before the age of 3 many children will have attachment disorder.
Does the mother have drug problems, has cut herself, attempted suicide, things of this nature, if you can provide a home for the daughter and take care of her. I am not sure how you can prove it unless the mother has documented problems
Go to court and file for joint custody.If you are fit, you will more than likely be granted.
