would i be able to get custody of my daughter?

If your daughter is old enough to speak for her self the judge might ask her who she wants to live with. If the father doesn’t have a job then he can easily go on welfare too, but if not then you have a better chance because you can provide more for her. The court will also ask about living conditions if the father doesn’t have a separate bed room for her then there isn’t a chance because you can say something really disturbing about them sleeping in the same room once she’s in school. Please put your own problems aside and put your daughters best intrest first so she can get the most out of her childhood.

My daughter is 1 year and 6 months. The father is 22 years old. I havent been abusive and the father either. Right now we are living in his mom’s house and we pay rent. Right now he doesn’t work that much they call him whenever they need him to work but they dont really call him.

I’m not too sure about the laws where you live, but I think you can only get full custody if the father is an unfit parent. Since you are the mother, you will most probably get custody (she will live with you etc) and the father will be able to visit regularly. If you go to school- How are you going to support yourself and the child? I suggest you wait until you are finished school, get a steady job, save up a bit of money, and move into an apartment before you challenge for custody.

Do you have a place for the two of you to live? Family that could help?

Once you have your degree, full time employment, and a place to live you have an excellent chance of getting primary custody of your daughter. You can contact legal aid and ask their opinion.
