Under Indian law, child custody is awarded based on the child’s best interest. While there are no guarantees, demonstrating your financial stability and your ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child will strengthen your case. You should seek legal advice from a family lawyer who can guide you through the process and advise on specific steps to take.

My brother, a Buddhist like us, has a four-year-old son with a woman they were not officially married to. She was a widow with a history of troubling her previous husband, who sadly took his own life. She’s receiving his pension and used her connection to our family, which is well-respected in our community, for financial and social benefits. Their relationship has become strained, and due to her lack of education and background, she wouldn’t be able to provide the same opportunities for the child as we could. We’ve tried to reconcile, but it hasn’t worked. How can we legally secure custody of the boy, and what are our chances of winning?

My wife left me four years ago, moving in with her parents as she always preferred. She took our six-year-old son with her. I want to know if there’s any chance I can get him back. Any advice would be appreciated.

I’m Sujeet, a Hindu from Shahdol, Madhya Pradesh. I’ve been married for four years, and my son is three years old. My wife wants me to leave my parents, who are both elderly and need my support. My father is 63 and has been on dialysis for two years. My mother is 60. I want to be there for both my parents and my wife, but she isn’t helping me. She hasn’t stayed in our home for a continuous 30 days in the past four years. She stays for 10 days and then goes back to her parents for 50 days. She constantly demands more than I earn, and her family supports her in this. My son is starting nursery this year, but she won’t allow him to attend a school near where I live and work. I love my son dearly, and I want custody of him. For the past three years, I haven’t been able to have him with me for a continuous 30 days due to his mother. We haven’t divorced, but I need guidance on how to proceed.

My marriage is struggling and I’m considering divorce. But I’m deeply worried about my children’s future. What are the key things a judge considers when deciding custody arrangements in India?

Previous Article My apartment in Jaipur was bought in 2007, but I only got possession in 2014, with some unexplained charges. I tried talking to the builder, but their customer service team ignored me. I wrote multiple letters over the past two years, but they still haven’t responded. Now they’re demanding holding charges and interest, but won’t explain how they calculated these fees. Since most apartment agreements have a clause about holding charges, what legal advice can I get on this situation?
Next Article My sister’s husband divorced her in 2007 without informing our family. She stayed with him despite the divorce and physical abuse, fearing for her children’s future. He has been having extramarital affairs and continues to mentally torment her. She is not allowed to visit our home and only came twice for a short period after my father’s passing. He also verbally abused our family and even travelled abroad to meet another woman. I have a few questions: 1. Since my sister still lives with her ex-husband, is their divorce valid? 2. If it is valid, how can she claim alimony since she received nothing at the time of the divorce? 3. What role do their children play in this situation? 4. Is the Domestic Violence Act applicable even though she is being mentally tortured?
