Can a father who has joint physical custody of his sons be granted full custody if the mother is convicted and serves jail time for a DUI?
Possibly. It doesn't help her case at all to have a DUI. It doesn't hurt to take her to court over this. Also, you should mention that being away from the kids for 6 months has hurt their relationship. The kids shouldn't be confused with on-again/off-again relationships where sometimes the mom is there for them and sometimes she is in jail.
