About

I work with parents and families facing tough times, especially when the law gets complicated. My focus is on making things simple and clear, whether you’re dealing with custody issues or child protection matters under the POCSO Act.

Child Custody: What Really Matters

• The court always puts your child’s well-being first – it’s not just about legal paperwork, but about daily life, school, and emotions.
• Custody can mean different things: sometimes the child mainly lives with one parent, sometimes both parents share parenting time, and sometimes it’s about who can make big decisions for the child.
• In India, young kids (under five) often stay with the mother, but fathers can and do get custody if it’s best for the child. Nothing is permanent – if life changes, custody can too.
• The Indian child custody legal process can feel overwhelming, but knowing the basics helps.

Child Safety & POCSO

• The POCSO Act covers all children, boys and girls, and takes gender neutrality seriously. Anyone can be held responsible for abuse.
• Protection isn’t just offline – online child protection laws in India (like IT Act Section 67B) crack down on child pornography and digital exploitation.

Why Legal Advice Matters

Every family is different. This is just a starting point, not a replacement for talking to a specialist. If you’re dealing with joint parenting rights in India or worried about your child’s safety, getting the right legal support is important.
