Understanding Child Custody and Parental Rights

The Legal Reality of Custody

When a marriage falls apart, the impact on children is the hardest part. In custody battles, the court is not looking for a winner or a loser, and they are definitely not just relying on the child's preference. As seen in the Rohit Tamanna Gowda case, the Supreme Court has clarified that the child's choice is not the only factor. The judge evaluates who is better equipped to provide for the child's future.

Factors Courts Consider

• Overall Welfare: This is the priority. The court checks living arrangements, who the child is currently comfortable with, and who has been the primary caregiver.
• Financial Stability: While not the only factor, the court assesses who can provide a stable environment for education and upbringing.
• Emotional Support: The ability of a parent to foster a healthy environment, free from the hostility of the divorce process.
