Re: child custody
till 5 year mother must have custody of the child but it depends upon the gender of the child.
usually gurdianship courts are giving custody in favour of that person who can take care of child and also in the interest of welfare of the child.

Re: child custody
the custody will not depend upon age alone. there are several other factors. Nor mere financial standing is important.
The court will take into consideration the over all "welfare" of the child. The court may also consider child's wishes if the court finds that the child is capable of making clear decisions.
If you do not get custody, you may pray for visitation rights which you are most likely to get. If the child was with the mother for all these years and is happy there, it may not be in the best interest of the child to disturb the existing arrangements.
