Help answer this question below.
Women do not always get the kid, I've known a couple of single fathers that ended up with custody simply because the mother was so horrible. However, the reality is you will be facing an uphill battle, the courts do tend to favor the mother. If you can prove she doesn't work, doesn't have her own place, and just hangs out with her friends and this is all having a detrimental effect on the kids you may have a chance.
You don't. You put together evidence as a whole, and present it to the Judge. Why not go for joint physical or bird nest custody?

You'd be better off trying to find some type of evidence that she's abusing or neglecting the child. Being unemployed or having friends doesn't mean she's an unfit mother. If your child is old enough, it would be better if you could talk with her and see if she would even want to live with you, primarily. If she doesn't want to leave her mom, she may feel the stress (extremely) of protecting her mother, no matter what, and eventually resent you for what you're doing to her and her mom, even if you're doing what you are doing because you want what's best for your daughter.
I would try to have your daughter at your house more and try to work it out with your daughter's mother by offering to help her out by taking in the daughter as often as you can. No mother wants to "feel" like she's unfit (especially publicly) so she may put up a fight. If this is about what's best for your daughter, I would try to stay out of court as much as possible and instead, try to make it seem more understanding of the mom and you want to help her situation with raising your daughter.
Why some people choose to look away and let children being abused?

You're reading How can you prove a mom un fit if she doesn't work, have her own place, and just hangs out with her friends? i'm trying to get custody of my daughter but, everyone said women always get the kid.

Get a private investigator....her not having a job or her "own" place is not enough reason for her to be un fit. As long as she has a safe, clean, and kid suitable home then....there is nothing you can do. Hanging out with her friends? What are they doing? If its doing normal things...like going to the movies, shopping, ect.. you cant hold it against her. But if she is going out partying, ect then.....you have to get it in picture. Does she do drugs? If she is partying and doing drugs then call DFACS on her...the next in line for custody is you. But remember getting DFACS invloved is sticky...they will look in to your urine and back ground and where you live and if you are capeable of handling the kid/kids. You can file 2 get custody of the kid(s)..if you can show that you are better suited to take care of the kid you might have a chance but you would have to go into the whole thing as... I make more money...the goverment would not have to support them..I can provide this or that.Gotit
