No, if the mother is asking for the divorce, this does not affect the custody.

How old are the children? What is their age?

Dear Sir/Madam,

The main issue that the judge is taking care in the custody (The best conditions and the intersection for the kids).

However, the custody age is 13 to the girl and 14 to the boy, but we can ask the judge to extend it based on some conditions and facts proving that it's better for the son or daughter.
