Urgent - child custody case in two different states

(Querist) 19 July 2020 This query is : Resolved 
Hello:

I am posting my query succinctly, but if you need more details, please respond. Can I file a fresh O.P at Family Court under Section 12 of GW Act for permanent visitations along with IA? I am not sure which other section in law I can use to obtain visitation rights in this situation.

Thanks,

Whether petition for interim visitation rights was also filed with custody petition.

Please ask your lawyer at Hydrabad to pray court to order for interim visitation right till final orders.

Lock down-1.0 was implimented with effect from 25th March 2020, did you get interim orders and met the child before lockdown ? When did you met the minor last ?

You have stated that in 2019 your ex-wife has filed a child custody case in Hydrabad Family Court and while it was pending she moved to Banglore with the child, these are two different and contradictory statements as when she was having physical custody of child, why and how did she file "child custody" case ?

First file a Suit for Visiting Rights in Bengaluru Court it self . Free Legal Aid Forums are available in all Courts . Discuss with them and there will be no objection to appear as Party in Person but seek the Legal assistance from them. In Family Courts all the cases would be Party in Persons of both the sides and mostly Advocates would be assisting them with out filing Vakhalat.

The facts posted suggest a different cause of action vis-a-vis the pending petition at Hyderabad. As such, in my understanding, the petition is maintainable.

Section 26 of the Hindu Marriage Act refers to Child's Custody to Father. You need not mention any Act in your Petition unless you are represented by an Advocate. Visitations are made with the child's best interest standard.. In general it is best for the child to have a meaningful and healthy relationship with both of their parents.. There fore it is rare that a Court would refuse Visitation Right to Parent.

You can as well file petition U/Sec 21 of Protection of Woman from Domestic Violence Act along with IA U/S 23 (2) of the same.
