Question

can a father take custode of his child if the mother is in a gay relationship?



Answer

A gay relationship in and of itself is not the only determining factor. A court will look at the totality of the circumstances to determine what is in the best interest of the child.

Answer

Not without a court order, and it would have to be based on something other than the relationship being same-sex. Same-sex relationships are treated exactly the same as separate sex relationships in custody cases. It is grounds to have a custody order overturned on appeal if the judge bases it on the fact that one of the parents is in a same-sex relationship.
