hi
i have filled custody of child in family court since 2011. i got only access to child still the matter is pending.
my lawyer at this stage told me that for male child of age 6 you will not get custody from family court it only allows access and i need to file case in district court for custody of child.
I am confused as i am not sure if that is true or not.
also in family court is there any law if the arrears amount of 1 rs is also pending then court can dismiss the case or will not allow further
thanks

custody of child upto 05 years of age has to be with mother only. Natural father can have visiting rights. As far as issue of money is concerned, you have to show your bonafide by paying the maintenance. your lawyer is right

Generally custody is given to mother till you prove that best interest of the child are not protected if custody given to her.

Welfare of a child is main consideration for/in granting the custody of a child.
