Conclusion. In most custody battles, the winner is the parent who can best demonstrate that they serve the childs best interests. While mothers still win more cases overall, the gap has narrowed as fathers play a greater role in raising their children.
The evaluator will typically examine each parents emotional functioning, parenting history, and relationship with the child. An unstable parent may demonstrate frequent emotional outbursts, poor decision-making, or an inability to set boundariesall of which could put a child at risk.
The answer is simple but often difficult in practice. To get sole custody of your minor child in Virginia, you must show that sole custody is in your childs best interests.

Here are 10 tips to give you an edge in your case: Demonstrate that You Provide a Safe Environment. Be Stable. Dont Alienate the Other Parent. Keep Your Children Out of the Litigation (if possible) Pay Your Child Support on Time. Try to Co-Parent Act in the Best Interest of the Child Show The Court Your Best Self.
