Yes, every father has that right, whether he is successful is another matter. If you were married he would have a better chance but he can still apply.

How can you get residential custody of child as a single father?
A single father, what does that mean? Are you divorced, ever married to the mother of your child, or is the child adopted by you, or is the mother dead or out of the picture?

What is it about the mother or other parent that makes it harmful for the child to remain in their care?

You will find it very hard my friend, I am a single parent myself with custody of my two daughters, the only reason I have custody of them is that they were old enough to tell the court that they wanted to be with me and not with their mother, but obviously your child is not old enough to do this. If you can prove she is a bad mother then that will go a lot in your favour but apart from that, you are up against it. Good luck.
