Advocate Kamal Bhatla - Child Custody Lawyer Delhi

Fighting for Parental Rights & Child Welfare

Child custody cases are emotionally draining and legally complex. In India, the court looks primarily at the "Welfare of the Child" above all else. Whether you are a father seeking visitation rights or a mother fighting for full custody, you need a lawyer who understands the nuances of the Hindu Minority and Guardianship Act and the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890.

At Bhatla Law Firm, we don't just file cases; we build strategies to ensure your child grows up in a safe, loving environment while protecting your parental rights.

Why Choose Bhatla Law Firm?

Child-Centric Approach

We focus on demonstrating to the court that your custody is in the child's best psychological and physical interest.

Visitation Rights

We specialize in securing interim visitation rights and overnight access for non-custodial parents immediately.

Protection from Alienation

We fight aggressively against "Parental Alienation Syndrome" where one parent poisons the child's mind against the other.

Child Custody Process in Delhi Courts

Understanding the legal journey for Physical, Legal, or Joint Custody.

Filing the Petition

We file a petition under the Guardians and Wards Act at the Family Court having jurisdiction where the child ordinarily resides.

Notice & Summons

The court issues a notice to the other parent (respondent) to appear and file a reply within a stipulated time (usually 30 days).

Mediation (Mandatory)

Delhi courts prioritize mediation. We guide you through counseling sessions to attempt an amicable settlement or Shared Parenting Plan.

Interim Custody/Visitation

While the main case is pending, we file for interim relief so you don't lose contact with your child during the trial.

Evidence & Judgment

Cross-examination of parents, financial proof, and sometimes child interaction with the judge leading to the final order.

Documents Required

Child’s Birth Certificate
Proof of Residence (Child & Parent)
Financial Proof (ITR, Salary Slips)
School Admission/Performance Records
Evidence of other parent's misconduct (if any)
Marriage Proof / Divorce Papers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the mother always get custody of the child?

Not necessarily. While courts often grant custody of children under 5 years to the mother, the paramount consideration is the "Welfare of the Child." Fathers can and do get custody if they can prove they provide a better environment for the child's growth.

What is the difference between Legal and Physical Custody?

Physical custody determines whom the child lives with. Legal custody determines who makes major decisions (schooling, religion, medical) for the child. Courts often grant Joint Legal Custody even if Physical Custody is with one parent.

How long does a child custody case take in Delhi?

A contested custody battle can take anywhere from 1 to 3 years. However, we prioritize securing "Interim Orders" for visitation or temporary custody within the first few months so your bond with the child is maintained.

Can I get custody if I earn less than my spouse?

Yes. Financial status is not the only criteria. If you can provide a safe, loving, and emotionally stable environment, the court can order the higher-earning spouse to pay child maintenance (support) while you retain custody.

What happens if my spouse stops me from meeting my child?

This is a violation of your rights. We can immediately file an application for visitation rights or a contempt petition if a court order already exists. Denial of access is viewed seriously by Delhi courts.
