In India, grandparents are not directly involved in custody counselling. However, the court may consider their welfare and well-being while deciding custody. The final custody decision is based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like age, health, relationship with parents, and overall well-being.

We were called in, and she withdrew the complaint. However, she still refuses to return and is now pressuring me. I agreed to her demand for a separate rented apartment. We married on June 13th, 2009. Our children were born on March 15th, 2010, and November 16th, 2011. Her parents, who don’t have a son, seem to have their eyes set on our children.
