Family

Child custody disputes are one of the most heart-wrenching aspects of family law. In Pakistan, custody laws are based on Islamic law principles and aim to serve the best interests of the child. The Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, provides the primary legal framework for these matters.

Custody and guardianship are two different legal concepts in Pakistan. Custody relates to the upbringing and care of the child, while guardianship pertains to the management of the child’s property and assets.

Mothers are generally given preference for custody of young children, especially in the case of girls. However, the court takes into account several factors, including the child’s age, child’s preference, welfare of the child, financial status of the parents, and the character and conduct of the parents.

Custody disputes can be emotionally draining, and the legal proceedings may seem overwhelming. An experienced advocate can guide you through this process, helping ensure the best outcome for your child.
