Dear Learned counsel,
The coming Tuesday 18th is my hearing for my custody petition, so fingers crossed.
My estranged wife (divorce petition pending) will no doubt arrive from the UAE to contest this.
Just to stroke my confidence and belief, do you any of you, learned members, of this forum believe I have a fighting chance as the mother of my child is abroad on employment and has left the child (boy, 3 YO) with her parents OR do I brace my self for the inevitable verdict favoring the mother, just that in MY case the mother is unavailable in the country to provide "the nurture and care that a child of this tender age needs"
Also, the child has been in my in-laws since March this year, If the case is not decided at this hearing and will at any subsequent hearing, will the judge feel it is better not to disturb this arrangement and let my son be with my in-laws?.
A deep rooted fear as I've seen many judgments where the lordships have thought this as right.
I have been crying left and right since March for my son's custody. Every time a make an attempt, my wife flies from abroad, takes the child, gives him back to her parents and takes the next flight back. hide-and-seek!
I know no body can decide Tuesday's outcome but any experiences that can throw light on what I can expect ?
I have a lot riding on this ! Need all your prayers and wishes. Thanks
