Yes, mothers still get custody the vast majority of the time (unless she is deemed unfit), but re-unification therapy is a real thing and it is being mandated by many courts. It happens when a parent has abandoned the child, or so much damage (often through drug addiction or neglect) has been done between the parent and the child that the non custodial parent has little to no contact with the child by the child's choice. Through this therapy, the absent parent is allowed to drag the child into the court mandated therapy and is granted visitation rights. I am in the deep south in the US and it is very common here.</p></blockquote><p></p>
