In any matrimonial dispute, children are often the most affected. Child custody laws in India prioritize the 'welfare of the child' above the superior rights of either parent.
Types of Custody
- Physical Custody: The child lives with one parent.
- Joint Custody: Both parents share decision-making power, though physical residence may be with one.
- Visitation Rights: The non-custodial parent gets scheduled time with the child.
Legal Conclusion
