Can I take custody of the children if the husband doesn't have a legal job or does online fraud? While I'm a legal earner but my income isn't as much as his but mine is consistent.

Will I be allowed to take custody of the children if the divorce goes well? I earn legally while my husband is into internet fraud but possibly has more money than I have. My income is consistent while he is not but whenever he receives money, might go beyond mine while he can be for days where he doesn't get any money and could resort to borrowing money from the online loan apps.

Yes, you can have custody of your children. The court will always look at what is best for the children. However, you must prove to the court that you are also capable of raising these children. The age of the children is also important when considering custody. If they are very young, the mother always has the advantage in custody applications.

Yes, you can get custody of the children. The interest of the child would be a major factor against their age, your financial background and other factors.
