Ultimately this is a question for an attorney.
However, in general, the court will look at the specific circumstances and evaluate which parent is in the best position to provide a healthy environment. The general rule is that "the best interest of the children" is the overriding factor.
In an emotional, contested action each side often presents conflicting "facts" and "evidence" to indicate that they are better suited, and the other side is unfit, to have the kids.
In those cases, the court must evaluate the information and ultimately decide "The Truth."
