    What is the chance that a father will get joint custody in Calif. If he has no job?
    And has very limited supplies needed to take care of a toddler i.e. no clothes vry little baby food if any. And the child has been born with kidney failure and he knows little about the details of her sitution

    There are two types of custody; legal and physical. The father stands a good chance of joint legal custody since he's the father. However, if he has not means of caring for the child, especially a special needs child, then physical custody will probably be limited.

    Thank you. And yes I have been reading up on the 2 different types of joint custody. So you think there's a good chance he will get legal but the physical custody of the chiled going and living with him for set amount of days during the week is not likely to happen? remember I am from California lol

    Baby supplies can be purchased, you would just need to give him a list.

    Its hard to predict what a court will do, it also matters how far apart you live.

    Sure it has some bearing on the situation him not having a job. But that shouldn't stop the courts from allowing visitation. The way your talking there is a history behind his employment record. One which Im sure the mother was fully aware of. So its not an excuse of any kind. Has the mother been keeping him abreast of the situation with the child?

    The mother is a friend of mine.so I'm sorry but to make this easy ima giv you kind of the whole story lol. Uh he wasn't really around when she was pregnant. They were a couple for 2 months when the bby was born, but when they broke up he nvr came around called anything. The bby is now going to be 10 months old and about 3 months ago he got visition rights. Now he's saying he wants joint custody but as I sais before has nvr had a real job always just seasonal things here and there and limited supplies for the bby. As for the child's condition, part of the court agrement when they gave him visition was that the mom is to inform him when the child has dr.s apts and allow him to go. She informs him.but I don't think he goes to all or most of them.and no he is not really awear of how serious it is. Almost like he doesn't take it serious or doesn't believe it. Its kind of hard to explain but it adds up to him not really knowing in depth what's really wrong with the child
