It is impossible to terminate the relationship between child and parent unless for a pending adoption. There is also a presumption that absent good cause, the child has a right to share in both parents' lives. The courts do not see it that because a person does not have a job, that they should not be given any rights. And, you are right, unless there is something wrong with the father, yes, the court would give joint custody.
