Anxiety Disorder & Child Custody

It is a long battle especially in Indian Courts.


1. Till date only Chennai HC recognised PAS and genetic disorders effects in Child Custody and granted custody of child to father.


2. You inclination to understand the personality of MIL and its effects on your child and then convincing the Guardianship Judge is the basis of winning the custody of you child.


3. I can just guide you to American Acadamy of Child and Adolscent Psychiatry website to understand the practice parameters OR study the DSM - V draft mannual which is yet to publish its Volume V (Diagnosis and Statistical Mannuel on Psychiatry referred by all Psychiatrist all over the world) where for the first time PAS is going to be included to help Child Custody parameters evaluation in asked brief cases and behind all these remember in Indian Courts if you talk of Personality Disorders or Behaviour Personality Disorders of wife and or her family then you will end up doing a PhD by  the end of the Case tenures so it is suggested to take small steps at a time which is ask for Visitation and more visitations of child to you and for grandparents and followed by showing good behaviour with natural guardian / g'parents may win the case. In all it is long battle and you can't just stroke one egg (Anxiety Disorder of MIL) as a sole ground to proceed further in Guardians and Wards Cases the Court will not understand it as they themslef are not "wise parents".

However, all the best.
