Child custody matters can be emotionally heavy and legally complex, especially when one parent is an NRI or when families are spread across countries. We support NRI parents by preparing complete case documentation, presenting the child’s best interests clearly, and managing the full court process in India. Whether you are seeking custody, joint custody, visitation, or guardianship rights, we ensure your position is presented respectfully, logically, and in a way the court can understand.

How We Help You With Child Custody & Guardianship

1. Understanding Your Family Situation: We begin by gathering details about your child’s routine, schooling, medical history, living conditions, and your relationship with the child. We also take into account relocation, time-zone differences, financial responsibility, caregiving involvement, and international travel plans. This allows us to frame your custody or guardianship request in a balanced and child-centric manner.
2. Drafting Custody or Guardianship Applications: Whether you're seeking primary custody, shared custody, visitation rights, or the legal appointment of a guardian, we prepare a clear, well-structured application. The draft highlights the child’s welfare, stability, emotional security, and your ability to provide care — all presented in a way that is ready for filing in Indian courts.
3. Preparing Evidence and Support Documents: Custody matters depend heavily on proof. We help you organise documents such as school reports, medical records, photographs, communication logs, financial support records, and caregiving evidence. If you are living abroad, we also explain how to present international employment details, housing proofs, and your ability to maintain the child’s routine.
4. NRI-Specific Attestation, POA, and Travel Documentation: If you live outside India, certain affidavits or statements may require attestation, apostille, or embassy verification. We prepare the exact formats and guide you through the process. If you cannot travel to India, we help you execute a Power of Attorney so the case continues smoothly.
5. Court Representation and Hearing Management: Since we are licensed advocates in India, we handle all hearings, filings, and arguments. We present your case, challenge false allegations, negotiate interim arrangements, and keep you updated throughout the process. NRIs receive regular reports so they can follow the case without stress.
6. Guidance on Visitation, Parenting Plans, and Overseas Travel Orders: We help create balanced parenting plans, including video-call schedules, holiday visitation, supervised meetings (if required), and international travel permissions. We prepare all documents needed for child passports, travel consent, and relocation requests.
