Child custody disputes are among the most emotionally challenging aspects of separation and divorce.

We provide sensitive, strategic, and legally sound guidance to help parents resolve custody battles while minimizing trauma to the child.
Types of Child Custody in India
Indian courts may grant different types of custody based on the child's best interest:
🔹 Physical Custody – The child lives with one parent, and the other gets visitation rights.
🔹 Joint Custody – Both parents share physical and legal custody (alternating days/weeks/months).
🔹 Legal Custody – The right to make major decisions (education, health, religion, etc.).
🔹 Third-Party Custody – In rare cases, custody may be granted to a relative or guardian, not the biological parents.
🔹 Visitation Rights – Time allotted to the non-custodial parent to maintain a healthy parent-child relationship.
Legal Framework
Child custody laws in India are governed by various personal and secular laws:
✔ Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956
✔ Guardian and Wards Act, 1890 (applies to all religions)
✔ Special Marriage Act, 1954
✔ Muslim Personal Law (Shariat) Application Act, 1937
Courts prioritize the child’s welfare, safety, and emotional needs over parental rights.
How Courts Decide Custody:
🔹Age, gender, and preferences of the child
🔹Emotional bonding with each parent
🔹Financial stability and parenting ability
🔹Health, mental condition, and character of both parents
🔹History of abuse, addiction, or neglect
🔹Overall best interest and welfare of the child
