Dear Expert,
To a great extent I am willing to get my daughter’s (3 years old) custody. I have already applied for Child custody under HMA section 26 along with my divorce petition section 13.
As per HMGA act section 6(a) “custody of a minor child shall ordinarily be with mother.” The law says ordinarily not mandatorily however mostly it is misquoted which impacts willing and custody needing father. As per HMGA section 13(1) “Welfare of minor to be paramount consideration.” But, in the family court, it is very difficult to get the time for arguments under HMA or HMGA petition since most of the times are consumed in cancelling and custodial hearing delays.
In the circumstances of separate petition under “Guardians and Wards Act, 1890” which section would be recommendable to apply for child custody? Please advice. Thanks in advance.
