I think you should refuse her to take to the Court.No body can take care of child like her mother.

Hi , thanks for reply ranee,

 

daughter is with me and my parents since her birth, respondednt used to visit  once in 15 days, and not taking care of the child, but instead acting to get evidence, as if she is loving her only through words but not in reality. respondent is staying in own house along with her relatives, my self staying in rented house, now daughter is very much attached to her grandmother and myself and respondent applied for child custody, i am not ready to give her and i need divorce, if i ask my daughter will you join her mother then she will say no, i want my daughter to stay with me only. is there a way to object respondent not ask for child and give divorce.

If the child in the court says "no" to her mother, then the balance tilts towards you for custody of child.  Child's welfare will be the paramount consideration in such things.

divorce is a different matter.  it will be granted to you or not depending upon the facts and the evidence led before the court.

The respondent dont know as of now where i am staying and leaving peacefully now, my worry is if respondent ask my daughter of whereabouts and respondent came to know about whereabouts then she will come to my home and will make my life miserable again, till what age daughter sould be with mother as per law. i am sure my daughter will say No to stay with respondent. any action do i need to take against respondent.

Adv. Chandrasekhar (Advocate)     02 April 2012

A mother cannot be deprived of child's love and the child cannot be deprive of mother's love.  The court will grant her the visitation rights.  If you do not want the mother to come to the house, where you are peacefully living, then you ask the court to select a place where you can bring your child for her visitation. the court may accept your request.  Normally, upto 5 years child shall be naturally with mother.  But there are no hard and fast rules as far as this point is considered and the child's welfare is the paramount consideration.

Peti,

Normally in custody fights the parent having custody usually continue to have, unless  that party screws up big time - like not getting proper care of the child, improper education,  child saying that he/she wants to live with the other party.

 

While as a responsible father, you should give access to child to mother - but it should be formal. Fix up a time when she can visit the child and ensure that she does not misuse time by poisoning the child mind.

 

Best of luck.

if i agree for visitation right, normally in some place, daily do i need to or once in week or month, normally how the law will say. how much time during the visitation right will be granted to respondednt. I am ure during the vistation right respondent will poison my daughter mind and ask unnecessary question and due to that i dont want my daughter to be victim. what is the reason for visitation right when the mother did not give her love since her birth - may be 40 days they were toghether at the earlier stage. visitation right will again create a mess, any other alternative route

Visitation rights are usually once a week ranging from 5-6 hours. Also she may get vacation time.   Uusally mother plays some common tricks  - like admitting the child in summer camps etc to deny father visitation during the vacation. The same tricks will be available to you.

 

I would not recommend stopping mother from seeing the child - as said previously ensure she does not take undue advantage of that.

Normally what kind of question the lawyers may ask to child, if we found that during questionairre to child can we stop the lawyers or request the judge to stop asking the question that may cause damage to us

You should provide visitation of the child/

 

if you fear her security, you can ask the same to be held under supervision.
