Legal Question in Family Law in India

Change in visitation

When I and my wife divorced our daughter was only 15 months old. The court granted limited visitation of one sunday a month for 4 hours. Now that the child has grown and is 3 years old, can I request for increase in the visitation time and also get block of days when the child can stay with me?

Re: Change in visitation

You may move to the concerned court for the modification of the order with your pleas. Court may increase the visiting time but as regard the stay of the child, I am doubtfull that the court will allow your request as the child is still very small/infant and generally such age of child mostly depends on mother's breast feed.

Re: Change in visitation

you may surely be able to spend more time with your child by moving an application for modification of earlier order. the child requires the attention of you both. moreover now the child understands your importance and courts would definitely understand the importance of modifying the order.

Re: Change in visitation

yes you can apply

and please request the court for allowing you maximum interaction with ur baby. this will be good for her.

if u got divorced then it dosnt mean that you can not reunite... if there is possibilities then try to reunite.

best of luck
