Father Seeks Custody Advice After Wife Neglects Children

My brother has approached the social welfare ministry because his wife is neglecting their three children, aged 9, 6, and 3. He now handles all their daily care—bathing them, washing their clothes, and taking them to school. She only cooks for herself and often hurls insults at him, even threatening harm. The stress is overwhelming and he wants to separate without filing for divorce yet. He is exploring the possibility of gaining child custody and needs guidance on likely outcomes. Please suggest one, two, or three possible results he might expect. Thanks in advance for your advice.
