I would think you would need to prove it in court. Whatever area you think they are unfit, you will need physical proof, not just hearsay, for example: drug addiction, mental illness, sexual abuse, neglect or abandonment. I would talk to your local Social Services and ask them what steps need to be taken.
Through the preponderance of accurate and TRUE evidence. If there's is a justifiable reason for this, the judge will see it. But, even a bad dad is better than no father at all, even if it requires supervised visitation. see link
You need to have concrete evidence to convince the court.
The factors used to determine that a parent is unfit are generally governed by state laws with child endangerment being the determining factor. The following include some of the reasons a parent may be declared unfit:
- physical, emotional and sexual abuse
- excessive discipline
- failure to protect the child from abuse by others
- failure to report abuse of the child
- neglect- failure to provide food, clothing, proper hygiene, necessary medical treatment, schooling
- failure to provide proper medical care
- failure to provide day to day parental care
- serious illness or disability
- mental illness
- substance abuse or addiction
- Alcoholism
- criminal activity and/or associations
- incarceration
- conduct or conditions that are seriously detrimental to the child
- abandonment
- child endangerment
- leaving the child unattended or in the care and supervision of a child or otherwise incompetent person
- a failure to provide adequate supervision
- unsafe living conditions
- a medical condition that makes it impossible for the parent to adequately care for the child

When would one parent get sole custody of children?
If you are a father. You must prove the mother unfit, drugs, abuse, prison record, etc... IF you are a mother, depending on the state you live in they would allow soul custody because you are the mother. If the father is unfit and you live in Utah and/or California where they are for the father as well and want to do joint custody in most of those two states, the father must pretty much be unfit such as abuse, drugs and/or prison record for the mother to get full custody. That is pretty much when the only time I have known any parent to get full custody of their children.

If you are married and are military, you may take your child where you are set to be stationed with out proving he is unfit. We move to japan this summer, and my daughter's father has no rights to her anyways so we don't even have to bother with telling him. But, if you are not married there can be all kinds of problems. Other than that, you must consult your lawyer if he pays any kind if child support. Good luck!
