The law governing Child Custody cases in India, broadly, falls under following Act:-

  1. Guardian and Wards Act, 1890
  2. Section 26 of HMA
  3. Article 32/226 of Constitution of India in exceptional cases

PLACE WHERE CHILD CUSTODY CASE IS FILED

Child custody cases are filed in the jurisdiction of the family court/competent court where minor child ordinarily resides. For example, father is living in Mumbai. Mother is living in Delhi along with minor child. If father wants to file Child Custody, he has to file the same only in Delhi. Thus, family court or concerned competent court shall have the exclusive jurisdiction over the child custody to the exclusion of all other courts.

By the time court grants visitation rights to the parents, the children would have grown into teenagers.  By the time the court grants custody, the teenagers would ahve ready to become fathers.mothers... Thats the latest update.
