Hi, I’m Avinash. My wife and I are divorced for two years now. We’ve agreed on child custody transfer, and I want to proceed with it. Can you explain the process for getting custody and how long it might take in court? Also, is it possible for me to have my child before the court order is finalized?

In India, child custody transfer requires a court order. You’ll need to file a petition outlining the agreed-upon terms and providing evidence of your wife’s consent. The court process can take months depending on case complexity. Having custody before the order is finalized is generally not possible, as the court must ensure the child’s well-being is protected.
