Girl child custody for father

Till the child is five years of age the custody of the child compulsorily lies with the mother only.beyond that the childs wish and welfare will be considered by the court and accordingly custody will be given

Welfare of the child is paramount consideration that court has to take in to account while deciding the issue of child custody. Even if the physical custody of the minor child assigned to one parent the other parent will get visitation right. The age of minor less than 5 years is usually given to mother but necessarily if the welfare of the child is more with the father this rule may not apply. rightly said By Ms Renuka, you guys are out in a long fought battle in the court will lead you nowhere and the only person who suffers will be your minor child, just sometime back I was in the Family Court, where the Judge was exactly pointing out this point only to one couple that they are both playing with the life of their two daughters in the manner they are fighting amongst themselves and in the end both their daughters will be hating both of them.

I support the suggestions of the above legal experts.,

Till the age of 5 years the child shall be vested with the mother , since she is the natural guardian .
