Sir both you and your wife are the natural guardians of the child, you can definitely ask for the custody for the child. But granting the custody depends on the reasons you give to prove how you are the better guardian compared to your wife. Incase, you fail to get the custody, then , you can apply for visiting rights as well.

Hi,
The welfare of the child is seen as the paramount condition, along with better parenting skills as well as the love of the child towards the parents. This is very difficult for men as they hardly get the custody of the child
