Re: Divorce & child custody

Do u want to take divorce with your husband by mutual consent? If yes then convience him about the child custody. If he agrees then while making divorce deed, incorporate such clause in it. And if does not then, as per law a child always remains with her mother atlest till age of 9, and then after court will decide the custody of child on appropriate application from the concerned side.

And if divorce is by going through court process, then you have to make necessary application for the child custody.

Re: Divorce & child custody

I have gone through query. That you have not given any details what for you want to take divorce. For divorce you have to approach to the court of law. By simply you want divorce court cannot give divorce and regarding the custody of child you can take custody of child. But my suggestion is to short out the problem and make better future of your child. Do not take hasty decision. If it is serious take the help of your elders and also contact advocate.
