Change in custody question

Does anyone out there have experience with custody changes based on children's poor performance/behavior in school?  

My DH has two daughters (he's NCP).  Both are behind in school.  The youngest just started kindergarten and has had issues with wetting her pants, hitting, and talking back to the teacher.  She never attended preschool and was removed from more than one daycare for hitting.  How long does this have to go on before a judge would consider a change in custody?  Any advice out there?

I don't have experience with that issue, but I would think that you'd want to start with an appointment with a good counselor to evaluate the child to see if there's a root cause for hitting, bed wetting, etc. I would think you're going to need this before you can make a case in court, anyway.

DH has a call with youngest's teacher tomorrow AM.  He's going to ask about seeing a counselor.  He talked to his attorney today too and he suggested the same thing.
