Respected Ma'am/Sir,
Need to know, if the parents are seperated for more than 1 year and the girl child (minor) is with the mother since then, what could be the reasons that will make the judge decide to give the custody to the father.
The father is an alcoholic and smoker and has developed health issues because of the same.
Also want to know if it can be proved medically that the father is an alcoholic and smoker. I mean if, lets say 15-20 days before his medical examination, he stops drinking or smoking, would it still show in his medical reports that he has been smoking and drinking for more that 10-15 years. I know a doctor can only confirm the same, however I thought you people also must have come across such cases, so you may be aware of the same.
Regards

Would like to mention one more thing.
An FIR has already been logged against the father because of the mental and physical torture he did against the mother.

By blood test these things can be established.
