Child custody battles are emotionally exhausting, but the law stays focused on one thing: the welfare of the child. Here is what you need to know about navigating these proceedings.

In child custody cases, who the child wants to live with is not the only factor. The Supreme Court, in the Rohit Tamanna Gowda case, clarified that the court's primary concern is the child's overall welfare. This includes evaluating which parent is better equipped to provide for the child's upbringing, education, and future.

I help my clients shift the focus from emotional arguments to the specific evidence that actually influences court decisions.
