  1. Forms of Child Custody Available In India

  2. The custody of a child following the parent's divorce is a contentious issue. Usually, movies & books emphasize the extent of emotional turmoil that a child must endure witnessing their parents' divorce. Child custody problem comes after the divorce or legal separation is finalized and is one of the most crucial matters on which the court must rule. Child custody refers to the legal right granted to a parent to care for the child (if the child is less than 18 years of age). The parent with custody rights is responsible for the child's economic stability and care regarding a healthy lifestyle, wellness, and psychological, physiological, and mental growth. Another parent has the only right to see and interact with the child. Regarding possession, the family courts decide based on what would be best for the child in concern. What Factors Led to a Child's Wellbeing? When the family courts grant custody rights to one of the parents, the judgment is made to ensure the best possible future for the child in the discussion. The subject of well-being is determined by four distinct factors, which are as follows: · The proper ethical upbringing of the child Child safety guarantee. Providing high-quality education. The guardian in whose hands the custodial rights are conferred must be financially secure.

  3. Who Claim After Divorce Child Custody? A child's custody is shared equally by both parents. But, who receives custody of a child continues to be a subject for which the court has jurisdiction. And just because one parent has custody of the children doesn't mean the other parent can't contact or even see the child. After the divorce or legal separation, the mother or the father can seek possession of the child. But, if both parents are ruled unsuitable for possession or both are deceased, the grandparents from either the maternal or paternal side, or another relative of the divided family, might take custody of the child. In most circumstances, the court appoints a third party as a guardian to safeguard the child's welfare.

  4. Forms of Child Custody Available In India In India, a court of competent jurisdiction orders custody of children in one of four ways: 1. Physical Custody of the Child When physical custody is granted to a parent, the child will remain in that parent's care, with intermittent contact & visits with the other parent. The goal of such a custody decision is to provide the child with a better quality of life in a secure and happy atmosphere while also ensuring that the child does not miss out on receiving the other parent's love during their early years. 2. Joint Custody of the Child Joint custody of a child does not entail that both parents should remain together for the child's sake, regardless of the notion that Indian courts consider that it is better for a child's wellbeing. Joint custody indicates that both parents will take turns looking for the child while the child is in their possession. The rotations of the child among the parents can be a few days, a week, or even a month. It helps the child since the youngster receives the love of both parents while also allowing the parents to be involved in their child's life. 3. Custody by a third party As the term implies, neither of the birth parents has custodial rights. This happens because the judge believes that both parents are incompetent in rearing a child and that giving them parental rights would indeed be detrimental to the child. A third party connected to the parents is appointed as the child's caretaker. 4. Sole custody In sole custody, one biological parent has full custody rights over the child. Because of a prior record of abusive behavior or, because they are incompetent in being favorable to the child in a certain way, the other parent is entirely excluded and denied any rights over the child. Conclusion Custody of a child is still one of the most delicate & complicated problems stemming from the parents' divorce. As observed, custody is mainly influenced by the standard way created by the courts in this regard. There has been a significant conflict between the many religious laws and the uniform legislation created by the State. But, the debate over diverse legal perspectives should not jeopardize the child's future. While addressing different segments of legislation, it should be recalled that the primary motivation for child custody is the child's wellbeing as well as secured social welfare. As a result, any impediment caused by law in this regard should be recognized and eliminated.
