What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Tennessee. My live in girlfriend has custody of her 5 year old daughter with 2 day a week visitation of childs father. She has let him see the child more than the court has allowed. Now he has filed for full custody of the child under the grounds that she has seizures occasionally and has had one recently while child was with her. She is under doctors care and the dr says that she is more than capable of taking care of child. Also he doesnt have a job and no means of support other than unemployment. He was dismissed from last job at adolescent drug rehab center for alleged abuse. What does she need to do and does the father have a chance to get custody? Thanks

Yes the father has a "chance" at custody. You need to stay out of this quite frankly. The fact that he is unemployed matters not. And if he is receiving unemployment -- then guess what, he was not fired for cause.
