Does a lack of employment affect child custody?

Hey guys, :woman_shrugging: Can a mother lose custody of her child just because she’s unemployed? I am worried that not having a job might impact my custody case. If you have been through this or have advice, please share. :jigsaw::family_woman_girl_boy:"

Folks,take this into account, that :rofl: if a parent’s lack of employment considerably impairs their capacity to meet the child’s needs or maintain a stable home environment, it may be a factor. In some circumstances, the court may take into account other criteria, such as family or friend support or the ability of the other parent to provide for the kid.

Yes, not having a job can impact child custody decisions. Although it’s not the only factor, courts may take it into account when deciding who gets custody.
