It is definitely a possibility, but not the only factor courts use in deciding who gets custody of the children. If the mother can prove that she can support the children, the odds become even regarding income. Typically, the deciding factor after income is regarding which parent will provide better care for the children apart from providing for their financial needs.
You divorce and get custody over your kids or just get full custody!
You have the visitation rights that were established in the divorce, and you have no custody rights.
In a divorce, the other spouse has to be notified of the motion for divorce, and they also have to be notified of your intention to sue for custody fo the children. So, no, it's not possible to be granted a divorce or custody of the children without the other spouse being notifiied of the intent.

An unmarried mother has full custody of her child unlessthe father has established his paternity through the court. He can then request custody and visitation rights. A divorced mother must review her divorce decree and all related court orders if she is unsure about the status of the custody of her child.
It depends on your legal status before and after the father left. If you are married then he still has full parental rights until a court renders a custody order. If you have been divorced custody should have been addressed in the divorce decree. If you were never married and he has no previously established custodial rights then you have full legal custody.

The father will have to take the mother of the child back to court if the divorce is already finalized. Custody should have been determined during the divorce so if 1 party wants to change that, they will have to take the other person back to court again.
