How do I get full custody of my kids?

In my opinion you would need to prove to the judge why you should get full custody and not split custody with the other parent.
It takes a lot to get full custody. Proving the other parent is not capable, stable mentally or living wise. Physical abuse towards the child themselves. Because even if they were abusive to you, they will sometimes grant some kind of custody

It’s hard to get full custody unless you can truly prove that the other parent is a true danger to the children.

Full rights doesn’t happen unless you can prove they are a danger to the child. Having different parenting difference is not a reason to cut rights and contact.
You need to get a lawyer speak to them and the judge will decide what is in the best interest of the child.

Is that to hurt another parent? That’s even cruel to the child to lose one parent because other one wants full custody. I wish my ex stayed in kids life, it’s so hard on kids

you have to show cause the reason if one is needed. if it’s not needed - then why do you wanna take kids away from their parent?
you have to execute proof of any claims. a lawyer would be your best bet.

They’re gonna appoint a GAL or moderator to discuss to see if yall can resolve the parenting time outside of court. However. Custody and parenting time is DIFFERENT. I have sole custody and permanent decision making but parenting time is reserved in case he gets his shit together. It’s a whole mess to fight for that tho.
My ex sued me for full custody about 10 years ago. He forced ongoing litigation all the way to an actual Trial (the vast majority of custody lawsuits don’t go all the way to trial). It cost us tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees, extreme stress and absolute misery. Long story short, I won and he lost all his parental rights except visitation. At the very least you will need a court ordered temporary custody/visitation agreement in place while going thru the process so your first step is to consult with a family law attorney.

A really good lawyer and actual proof of unsafe conditions and or that their other parent is a danger to them. If it’s out of spite, the judges won’t mess around and you can actually lose what custody you do have. So it’s best to speak with a lawyer, have your documentation in order and do what’s best for the child.
It’s not hard at all. Idk what everyone is talking about. Establish physical custody for more than 26 days. Once physical custody has been established. You can ask them to give their rights up in lieu of abandonment charges. It will take about a month. Once you have full physical custody you would have to agree to any custody agreement. Don’t agree to anything less than full physical and legal custody. Allow supervised visitation. My ex never showed up once even though he claimed to want full custody and child support. Once I said I didn’t receive a dollar for almost four years and that I didn’t plan to pay one dollar for at least four year he lost interest
If you already lost custody then you have almost no chance of getting full custody…
Speak to a family law solicitor
And make an application to your nearest family law court
