Can he? Yes. Will he? No one can predict.
The courts always try to make an objective decision regarding custody based on the best interests of the child if a petition for modifications to custody is heard before them. If the court finds that the child's interests would be better served with you, the child will remain with you. If not, an alternate placement will be arranged.
