Child-focused guidance on custody, visitation, relocation, schooling and interim arrangements in Delhi-connected family disputes.
Advocate Aayush Agarwal · Bar Council of Delhi D/6955/2018 · Updated
Start with the facts that determine the next step
Delhi-related content does not establish jurisdiction by itself. The marriage, residences, pending cases, orders, children, assets and relief sought should be reviewed. Published consultation locations are Gurugram and Meerut; confirm appointment or remote-consultation arrangements before travelling.
The child’s welfare is central
Custody is not a reward for one parent or automatic punishment for the other. Courts examine welfare in the specific circumstances. Avoid involving a child in adult allegations or treating access as a bargaining tool.
Bring a workable parenting proposal
Prepare school, health, routine, residence and travel information. A practical proposal can address regular contact, holidays, calls, handovers, emergencies and respectful information-sharing.
Urgency needs evidence
If there is a genuine safety, removal or access concern, record concrete facts and existing orders. Do not exaggerate an ordinary disagreement as an emergency; equally, seek prompt advice where immediate protection may be needed.
Documents for the first discussion
- A one-page chronology with dates and current contact addresses.
- Marriage record and copies of existing petitions, notices or orders.
- Only the financial, child-related or digital records relevant to your question.
- A list of urgent dates, safety concerns and the outcome you want to discuss.
Do not send identity numbers, passwords, complete bank records or private child information through an initial WhatsApp message.
Frequently asked questions
Does one parent automatically get custody?
No universal rule decides every case. The child’s welfare and the evidence are central.
Can visitation arrangements change?
A court-approved arrangement may be reconsidered where circumstances and welfare considerations justify it.
Can a parent relocate with the child?
Relocation can raise serious custody and jurisdiction questions. Obtain advice before making unilateral plans.
