What are the requirements with the personal status court if a custody agreement is proposed?

Please be informed that the first instance court provided the sole custody of the child to the father.

Currently, there is an ongoing Personal Status and inheritance appeal, and the case is reserved for judgment, and only a few days are left.

We are non-Muslim expats. However, the mother is proposing mutual agreements.

1. Sole custody provided to the mother with limited visitation rights to the father upon mutual agreement.

2. Joint custody - where in mother will sponsor the visa and shared expenses. Such an agreement is possible at this stage through a digital identity channel.

Will it be allowed to be submitted to the court and acknowledged in front of the Judge?

Is it recommended, considering the best interest of the child?

What are the rights of the father in case of an agreement, if a sole custody or a joint custody agreement is made between both parties?

Kindly advise.
