No. Most often it is only temporary until the mother can demonstrate to the court that the home circumstances has changed. I've seen cases where a drug addicted mother, whose child (age 4) was found on the streets, miles from her home, was still given the child back after finishing drug rehab. The father decided than to rent an apartment across the hall.
