What are the chances of a mother gaining custody or shared custody of her children, aged 6 or older, in India, if she has a medical condition and an irregular income? The children may prefer to live with her.

In India, the court prioritizes the child’s welfare, considering their preference if they’re mature enough. While a mother’s medical condition and irregular income might be considered, the court assesses her ability to provide a stable environment. If the children genuinely prefer living with her, and she can demonstrate adequate care, her chances of custody or shared custody are strong.
