No it to early to demand custody, but you can get visiting right.
no, at this stage , you can not be granted custody, however you can seek maintance from your wife, if she has income
Rightly advised.
you are demanding custody of your child but at same time, you saying that you are epileptic. how will you take care of the child when you yourself may not be able to take care of yourself at some point of time that even you do not know. in this situation, you must not ask for custody rather visitation rights are sufficient. to take proper care of the child, the parent him or herself should be having sound physical and mental health. you are also unemployed. in such a situation, morally, you shouldn't even ask for the relief of custody. first try n get a job and then cure your illness then seek the custody. all the best and pls dont mind if my words were harsh to you.
