Child custody query

A father can seek visitation rights in court for an unwilling child, but the court's decision will prioritize the child's welfare. 

The court will record the child's statement to understand their reluctance but isn't obligated to force the child to meet the father if it's deemed not in their best interest.

The judge will consider factors like the child's age, emotional well-being, and the reasons for their unwillingness before making an order. 

Child's welfare is  the paramount principle. 

The court will ensure the child is in contact with both parents for their growth and well-being. 

The court will investigate why the child doesn't want to meet their father and may record their statement to gather more information.

If the child continues to be unwilling, the court can revoke or modify the visitation order if it finds that forcing contact is not in the child's best interest. 

Therefore you can inform the court about this and request the court to not to order the child to be brought to court in future.

Very well explained, opined and advised by learned senior expert Mr. T Kalaiselvan, I endorse and appreciate his acumen.

You may submit before concerned court regarding reaction of the child what ever you are observing. 

The court shall consider it and modify its orders qua meeting of father with the child without prejudice to his right to meet the child.

As pointed out by the experts, in custody battle between the spouses the welfare of the child is the paramount consideration. In case of a child below seven years the lap of the Mother is always prioritize. Many factors are considered by the court for reaching the conclusion which spouse is more interested in the welfare of the child, because the welfare of the child is the paramount consideration.

Since the case is already sub-judiced, it would not be appropriate to comment upon it.

Seek opinion and advise of  the lawyer engaged by you who is well aware about facts and circumstances, an able, competent and intelligent enough and obliged / duty bound to satisfy your queries and questions. 

Thank you so much for all your comments.
