A loving father in India is seeking custody of his 4-year-old child. The child’s mother left for another country and has not returned. The child has been living with his maternal grandmother for the past 3 months, but she is struggling to provide adequate care and housing. The child is malnourished and neglected. The father is financially stable and wants to provide for his child. However, the grandmother refuses to relinquish custody and is even demanding financial support. She also denies the child’s requests to spend time with his father and refuses to answer his calls. What legal options does the father have to ensure his child’s well-being and secure custody?

The father can file a custody petition in the Family Court, citing the child’s well-being and the grandmother’s inability to provide adequate care. He can also seek a restraining order to prevent the grandmother from obstructing his access to the child and demand a court-ordered visitation schedule. The court will consider the child’s best interests and may grant custody to the father, especially considering the grandmother’s actions and the child’s need for a stable and loving environment.
