During separation, parents often believe the child should stay with them because they “love them more”.
But child custody is not awarded based on love — it is based on stability.
Indian courts assess:
-
Safety and emotional security
-
Continuity in schooling and lifestyle
-
Daily care and medical support
-
Financial stability
-
Family environment (grandparents / support system)
Even if one parent gets custody, the other parent receives visitation rights because every child deserves the love of both parents.
A custody case should never be a battle to win — it should be a journey to ensure the child grows emotionally healthy, confident, and protected.
