You can file a petition for visitation or custody rights in the Family Court under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. Even if custody is with the mother, courts generally allow the father to meet the child if it is in the child’s best interest. The court may order meetings, video calls, or gradual interaction. A lawyer can help you start this process. For further legal assistance, contact us on our helpline number.
