1 Answer from Attorneys
Quick answer: probably not. North Carolina is a joint custody state. The Courts typically don't take custody/visitation rights from a parent unless they are shown to be unfit. Now, if it gets to a point where you can't support your child, that may affect the "unfit parent" test. You need to make sure you look to see what resources you can get such as food stamps and if you haven't already sought it and its appropriate in your case, you need to look at seeking child support.
