if the non custodial parent stays home as a full-time parent, consents to reasonable visitation, requests no child support, offers the children a room of their own, is remarried in a stable relationship and the children expressly want to be with the non custodial parent, the custodial parent works hours not suitable for the children's schedules and doesn't even keep the children in the same home as themselves, would the judge most likely be willing to grant full custody to the non custodial parent?

this depends were you live and what age the child is... and as far as full custody I DONT THINK SO unless you have a MAJOR good proven right to full custody it will more than likely be awarded joint custody giving more power to the parent that the child lives with . i know this stuff stinks... and courts suck!!!

In WI:
If the non custodial parent will not / cannot spend time with the child & will be living in a home other than the home of which the children reside. NO!
Thats why they have custodial parents.
BUT: The child has the right to choose when they turn 16.

I think it depends on the age of the child also. Smaller children would more than likely stay with the custodial parent. Teenagers may have more of a choice.

I think it depends on the age of the child. Unless the child is considered an adult, they don't really have a say in the matter. A judge will not allow a 6 year old child to determine who is best to take care of them, unless the child is 18 or so, I don't really think it's an issue. I'd double check the laws where you live, though.

I would venture to say that a court will more than likely award joint custody, splitting time between the 2 homes.

There has to be a CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES for a Motion to change custody to even be consider!
Then there are usually factors within your states guidlines of law that will need to be you the NCP favor.
Good Luck.....

Logistically is sound right but every judge is different. Some prefer not to uproot the children others have different priorities. you really need to ask a Family Law expert.
