In India, the court will decide custody arrangements for the child, considering the child’s well-being and the parents’ abilities. Until the divorce is finalized, the child may stay with either parent or be shared, depending on the court’s order. After divorce, custody can be awarded to one parent, with the other parent having visitation rights and contributing financially to the child’s upbringing.
