QUESTIONS
Will a judge consider my religion in a child custody matter?
I am Filipino and a devout catholic. Religion was just as important to my ex-wife during our marriage but since our divorce, she has left the church and no longer has faith in God. We are in a custody case involving our daughter and I want to ask for full custody of her because I believe it is important for our daughter to be raised in the church. If her mother has her, she won’t get any religious education. In this custody case, will my religious faith and my desire to raise my daughter as a Catholic matter to a judge in the final decision?
