Child custody disputes can be emotionally challenging and legally complex, requiring sensitive handling and expert legal advice. Advocate Chirag Arora specializes in child custody matters, helping parents navigate the legal process with a focus on the welfare and well-being of the child.

Understanding Child Custody in India

Under Indian law, child custody decisions are governed by statutes like the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act, 1956, the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, and applicable personal laws. Courts prioritize the best interests of the child when determining custody arrangements.

Types of Child Custody:

1. Physical Custody: The parent awarded physical custody is responsible for the child’s day-to-day care and upbringing.
2. Legal Custody: Both parents may retain the right to make major decisions regarding the child’s education, healthcare, and welfare.
3. Joint Custody: Both parents share custody, with the child splitting time between them.
4. Visitation Rights: The non-custodial parent is granted visitation rights to maintain their relationship with the child.
