Court grants custody to mother after father fails to establish child's best interests. Child's residence awarded to mother following father's inability to prove suitability.

The court reversed the lower court's decision to award custody to the father, ruling instead that the child must reside with the mother. The father argued for continued custody based on his parental rights, but failed to demonstrate that the child's best interests were better served by his care. Consequently, the court prioritized the child's welfare and stability, determining the mother's environment was more appropriate.
