What is a good book that I could purchase reguarding the laws and rules reguarding child custody?
Hah! There are no laws or rules that govern child custody rulings, only ‘guidelines’ which can be colored by either side. The exact same judge, in two identical cases, can make two opposite rulings that will stand up. The overlying principle is ‘the best interests of the child’, but a judge may picture a child’s best interest differently on different days, depending upon his mood, or persuasiveness of testimony. Felony conviction is not an automatic disqualifier for fitness as a parent, often even if the felony was a result of parental activity. While a convicted felon may automatically lose certain rights, parental rights are not necessarily among them.
