Re: custody
If there is a custody fight, the court will have to look at many factors here. The usual standard is "the best interest of the child." This is not an opinion that can be given without knowing more. I urge that you contact an attorney in your area to get an opinion based upon a confidential discussion of your situation, including the country to which deportation is possible. You should also be considering whether you have any way to improve your chances of staying here.
