The court of first instance granted me full custody of my child. Can I keep his passport?

If the court of first instance has granted me full custody of my child, do I get to keep the passport of my son or does my son's father keep it?

My dear.

If you obtain custody of your child, you have the right to keep all the documents that belong to him, such as the passport, birth certificate, and identity card.

But this is done by filing a lawsuit in court, and the decision must be issued by the judge.

If anything else is required, don’t hesitate to contact us via email or call our offices in Dubai or Sharjah.

Greetings.

Yes, the documents of the custodians must be with the custodian, whether the mother or the father.

As long as you are the custodian of the children, you have the right to keep the documents.

If you do not have the documents with you, we can submit a request for an order on a petition and return the documents to you.

For further inquiries about your topic, you can reach our office or contact us on WhatsApp.
