Many times it is seen as more natural for children to stay with their mother, especially since Men are usually portrayed in culture as "Child-inept." A lot of it has to do with the reason the parents are divorcing, if it's for domestic violence of any kind of course the kids will go with the other parent. Ultimately the question of custody will be decided by who can prove to the Jude that they are better suited parents: have a good job, appropriate life style, can provide, etc.
Another Perspective
Because in this time it has been acknowledged that throughout the history of the world women have been the parent in charge of childcare; women have been given the role of caring for the home and children and women are more accustomed to responding to the needs of others. Surprisingly, it is only recently that women were favored for custody. In past centuries they were not, the children were considered the property of their father. In many cases men do have custody of their children.

If a mother with a child enters rehab to fix her problems can the father get full custody where they already have joint custody?
It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody. I say this because the mother is doing this to get better, for the benefit of her kids. Some might argue that she should not have custody because why would she had to go to rehab in the first place. It really depends. I think that the mother and father should have full custody.
