Child custody - wife is single child Child custody - wife is single child

2 years ago

If in-laws are old, wife is single child and they have not given basic vaccine doses, fail to take proper keeping the kid in unhygienic condition. Keep father and son deprived from each others love (cruelty) - no audio-video calls so that son forgets and distant from father. This toxic environment is not paramount welfare of my son and hence I need custody of my child. Considering he is 25 months old and in a different state please let me know the possibilities to get custody, joint custody or least is interim custody. I know i will get visitation but I am looking beyond that.

A.Dear Sir,
You may pray for it but permanent child custody is impossible since child requires care and custody of the mother till attaining the age of atleast four years. You may have visitation rights only.

Landmark Judgement pronounced by SC dealing with guardianship & custodial and visitation rights to parents and children stuck in matrimonial disputes
In a remarkable judgment dealing with interim custody of child suffering in parent’s matrimonial disputes, visitation rights and guardianship, a 2 judge bench of Supreme Court laid down various propositions of law while awarding the interim custody till final disposal by the trial court to the mother. The bench speaking through Justice Vikramjit Sen, lays down very sharp observations and examines various definitions of a ‘guardian’, ‘visitation rights’ and tests the issue from the angle of provisions of Hindu Minority & Guardianship Act, 1956 and Guardian & Wards Act, 1890.In a custody battle between estranged parents, a minor child, who has not completed five years of age, shall be allowed to remain with the mother, the Supreme Court has ruled saying that in such cases child should not treated as a "chattel". The court said that under Hindu Minority and Guardianship (HMG) Act, a father can be guardian of the property of the minor child but not the guardian of his person if the child is less than five years old.
The Court said that there can be no cavil that when a Court is confronted by conflicting claims of custody there are no rights of the parents which have to be enforced; the child is not a chattel or a ball that is bounced to and fro the parents. It is only the child's welfare which is the focal point for consideration. Parliament rightly thinks that the custody of a child less than five years of age should ordinarily be with the mother and this expectation can be deviated from only for strong reasons.
