It is impossible to list all the ways a person can screw up. Some examples of how mother's have lost custody are: allowing her boyfriend to have sex with the children. leaving the baby in the woods while she turns tricks for her pimp, locking the kids in a car or apartment for hours without food or venitlation. trying to shoot the children, refusing to let the children visit their father, discouraging the children from visiting their father, moving out of state without informing the father, changing the kids school without informing the father, refusing to allow the kids to attend church with their father, allowing kids to watch R rated movies, or consume alcohol.

As you can see, the ways in which a woman can lose custody vary greatly in their seriousness and activity. If you are concerned that you might lose custody, you shoudl consult directly with an attorney, with whom you can share all the details of yrou particular situation. It is much easier to prevent losing custody, then to try and get it back.

Good luck
