Hello Experts,
I have a Query regarding Child custody, and wanted some information that will prove benficial to me
My Dtr is 5yrs old , staying with her mother at my residential house,while i am working in Mumbai..My divorce precedings is in progress for almost 3 yrs now. In the meantime she filled for DV on me,and my parents, later on my lawyer was able to get my parents our of the same..While the DV on me continued, After about 3months she filled another Dv on my Father only..As of now both the DV are in our favour.
Now i would like to fight for the custody of my Dtr, and wanted to know what i should do for the same
some points to ponder
1. Wife is not working, and not ready to work either,( her lawyer also advised her to work )she says the child is only fathers responsiblity
2.Can the Court ask the child for her opinions as to who she wants to be with at this age
3.Is it not that the mother is also responsible for the childs future and upbringing ( Financially )
4. Would her age also be considered ( she is 41yrs while i am 32 )
5. Would her educational qualification be considered, as she is not eductionally qualified
6.If i need to get my Dtr to Mumbai for holidays, would i require her permission ( no custody has yet been given) would i need to give an application in the court of any sort
7.Is it that the mother needs to be financially supportive too incase of the childs future, considering that she was working before marriage
Well that is all, there may be lots of things running in my mind, but i just wanted to know what i should start doing so that i can get her custody
Regards
Oscar
