This query is : Resolved
I applied for permanent child custody under Act 8 section 25.I did not apply for any visitation rights under section 12.My son's present age is 10 years.
My case was ex party as my wife did not appear before court.
But the district court gave final order stating that that the court is not convinced to hand over permanent child custody to me keeping my child's age in consideration and gave me visitation rights every 1st and 3 rd Saturday.
Now my question is as I did not apply for any visitation rights can district court pass such a final ex party order , where in I applied under section 25. for permanent custody.
Next what should I do?Is this a wrong order?

No. The child should be under the mother's control only until the boy or girl attains majority. A father cannot get permanent child custody, hence the court orders visitation rights. Follow the court orders.

If you are aggrieved by the court order nothing prevents you from preferring an appeal against the aggrieved judgement
