For what reasons are fathers most likely to lose custody of their child?
Because there is a pernicious and ludicrously false belief in far too many of our legislatures and courts (not, notably, in society at large) that generally:

1. mothers are better parents than fathers;
and thus
2. children need the care of their mothers more than the care of their fathers;
3. “It’s not the quantity, it’s the quality” of time the children spend with their fathers that matters most,
and thus
4. children should spend most of their time in the care of their mothers but have “a relationship” with their fathers by seeing them every other weekend, once a week, and on alternating holidays.
All other “reasons” for presuming that sole or primary custody of a child or children should be awarded to the mother derive from these three false premises, which premises/presumptions are extraordinarily difficult for a father to overcome, even if all he seeks is an award of joint equal child custody.
Of course, there are certainly cases where a father is clearly or demonstrably unfit to exercise joint custody. and there are situations where you may have a father who is an excellent parent but who has a work schedule and/or who lives too far away to make a joint equal custody schedule feasible, let alone workable in the children’s best interest.
Still, far, far too many fit and able fathers whose work schedules do not interfere with the exercise of custody and who live in extremely close proximity to the other parent are denied the near fair opportunity to prove they can and should continue to exercise joint legal and physical custody of their children.
