Re: what does a father need to win custody

You need to prove by a preponderance of the evidence in a formal hearing before a court of proper jurisdiction that the mother is basically unfit to parent the child and that the child's best interests would be best served if the court were to award you sole legal and physical custody.

You would be well advised to consult an attorney who is appropriately knowledgeable in Virginia family law issues to advise you on this matter.
