Yes， it is possible to seek custody after sterilization， but sterilization is not the only factor that the court considers when deciding on custody. In child custody cases， the court considers several factors， including the child's best interests， the existing relationship between the parent and the child， each parent's willingness to encourage the child's relationship with the other parent， and each parent's ability to meet the child's needs.
A parent's decision to undergo sterilization does not automatically disqualify them from seeking custody， nor does it mean that the other parent automatically receives custody. The court considers the reasons why the parent underwent sterilization， their involvement in their child's life， and whether they can provide a stable and nurturing environment for the child.
If the sterilization was done voluntarily and not due to any medical condition， the court may consider it as a factor to assess the parent's ability to provide for the child in the future. If the sterilization was involuntary， such as a court-ordered sterilization， then the court may take a different approach and evaluate other factors that contribute to the parents' capabilities to raise the child.
In summary， while sterilization doesn't automatically mean a parent will lose custody or have reduced parenting time， it's important for parents to understand that the court will consider all aspects of the custody case， including the reason for sterilization， to make a decision in the best interests of the child.
