Giving child custody to father in case of divorce
Hi,
In the case of divorce, child custody will go to who?
I am the mother and my baby is 5 months old. Is there a chance that the child will be given to the father?
And what are the reasons if the child will be given to the father and not the mother?

Dear questioner,
Chances of a father getting child custody are very less in this case as the child is very small.
We can help you in this case to secure your child custody.
If need be, kindly contact us via phone for a detailed discussion or write us an email for further assistance.

The custody is with the mother, but first I need to know more information about you.
Please contact us via email.

Dear questioner,
If your divorce is filed in the UAE, the court usually gives custody to the mother and the guardianship to the father.
However, there are a few exceptional situations when the father can get also custody.
It is a huge subject to be discussed here, so we can issue a legal opinion for you, regarding the matter. If you would like to proceed, please approach me via email.

Hello,
Generally speaking, in the U.A.E., custody is given to the mother, especially if the child is a minor. The father, however, will have guardianship over the child.
There are cases where the father is given custody of the child, but this depends more on the background of your specific matter.
For example, this may occur if the judge does not deem the mother fit to have custody of the child, if the mother does not want custody of the child, or if the mother is no longer alive.
Should you require further tailored substantive legal advice, kindly contact my firm via phone or email.
