Re: Power of attorney
Power of attorney cannot bestow custodial or parental rights. Father has parental rights until he is divested of them and may have full custodial rights if a court has never restricted or removed them. As a third party you would have to prove actual harm to the child not to be granted custody or visitation rights if one of the child's parents doesn't agree with your request.
All of your reasons why father doesn't deserve custody would have to be proved of course.
Good luck
