In years past, my partners conduct has certainly been less than exemplary. May I introduce evidence of this past bad conduct to prove unfitness to be a custodial parent?

Generally, no. Custody decisions are made on the basis of present conditions rather than on consideration of past unfitness. Past conduct is relevant only where it has an ongoing negative effect on a child’s welfare.
