Custody depends on the ability to care for the child. Unless the court determines that custody or visitation with you creates bad effects on the kids, court will not take away your visits. Money is not an issue in deciding who gets custody.

In Colorado, if the parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, the Court will make decisions about how to allocate parental responsibilities based on what all the facts show as being in the best interests of the children. Colorado no longer uses the word "custody" and the only real questions involve when and how much the children physically spend in each parent's home.

Custody is not determined by wether or not you are employed. You should contact a family law attorney to assist you.

Florida doesn't really have "custody" anymore. However, with his work schedule, it is unlikely that he would have majority time with the children. You should consult with an attorney in order to best determine your potential rights and options.

You certainly can. Ability to provide for the children is only 1 of about 12 factors the court will consider in awarding custody. His work schedule prohibits him from Having custody. He may attempt to change his work schedule or job.

Given the circumstances it would appear you have the better chance at custody.

In Wisconsin, a number of factors are used by the court to determine custody and placement. The decision won't be based solely on the fact that you're not currently working.
