How to get the custody of child?
I got married in 2006, and my son was born in 2007. We got divorced in 2008. I have not seen my son for the last 18 years. Please guide me on how I can meet my son.
Dear Client, Based on the facts, your son must be 18 and is no longer a minor and the mother is no longer his guardian and his representative. Therefore, the suggestion would be that you try contacting your wife through a mutual friend or contact and express your wish to meet your son. Your wife cannot keep you from meeting your son. However, if your son does not want to meet you, you will have no other choice but to respect his decision. I hope this was helpful. For further queries, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you.
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.
