Can I lose custody of my healthy 2 year old if she is not up to date on her vaccines?

My toddler was not up to date on her vaccines, now my ex is attempting to file child neglect charges against me. She has never been in daycare, she has had plenty of check ups by her pediatrician, and she's as healthy as a horse. I was just waiting until she was closer to 3 to finish up her vaccines.

I can't imagine that a court would consider that, alone, to be child neglect. In fact, many parents choose not to vaccinate their children at all. If that is his only concern, and your child attends regular visits to her doctor, I personally don't see an issue. Of course, other people's opinions may differ not he issue of vaccines.
