Frequently Asked Questions — Child Custody Lawyer in Delhi

Absolutely. Fathers can and do win sole or joint custody in Delhi courts when it is proven to be in the child's best interest.

A contested custody case in Delhi typically takes 1 to 3 years to reach final resolution. However, interim custody orders can be obtained in a matter of weeks after filing.

Can I get an emergency or interim custody order?

Yes. In urgent situations, your child custody advocate in Delhi can file for an emergency interim custody application to protect the child's immediate welfare.
