Child custody - I am working mother
1 year ago
I am working mother living in a different city and child lives with my parents in my hometown in another city.
Father is not working left a highly paid job.
Now he claims that since child doesnot live with mother so he should be getting the custody. How can i retain yhe custody of my child as he is also willing to live as is. He doesnot want to go to father. Please advise.
A.Dear client,
A child should stay with grandparents only in case of third-party custody. Third-party custody: If both the parents are either deceased, are unfit to take care of the child, or are abusive, then the court provides custody of the child to a third party such as grandparents or a relative. So, it is better if the child lives with you.
Father can take custody of child after divorce . As per the laws on Indian child custody, both divorced parents have equal rights over the child even after legal separation. One parent winning custody doesn't mean the other ceases to be the parent and loses all rights over the child.
