Care taker

In my opinion, care taking of a child better known by mothers but not fathers before 5 years of old of a child.

first part of your suggestion - a caretaker with educational background to look after the child alongwith grandma at your expenses may be appreciated by the court and may grant permission.  But using that caretaker as your mole to find out the welfare and development of child may not be appreciated.  For the latter part, you ask for visitation rights and during visits, you yourself findout the development of child. 

Hi Adv. Chandrasekhar

Thanks for the response to the first part but you have misunderstood me on the 2nd part. I am living 1000 KM away from the Child and my intention is not to use the care taker as a spy.

Also Could you please let me know after what age the child can spend her vacation with me (overnight access).

Visitation methods change from case to case.  As you are living 1000 km away, it may not be feasible to give only one overnight stay.  But, if you put a proposal that in a year, you take leave for 10 to 15 days and stay in the city where the child is living, the court may consider to take the child with you and leave her to her mother at night during your stay there,even at this age of her, i.e., 2.5 years.  You think along with your advocate that all the possible aleternatives for visitation, which suits you, your wife and the child, as there are no hard and fast rules in granting visitation rights.

Hi Adv. Chandrasekhar

Point noted.

Can you please comment on Child Access & Custody approved by Bombay High Court in which there are various guidelines for over night access such as weekends, festival, holidays, annual vacation overnight access.
