The right of claiming child custody by the father

Child custody question. Divorce in Dubai. Minor son is 4 years old.

If the father is Muslim and mother is non-Muslim, what are the requirements of the father to get custody of the child?

Is the relative who has to stay with father required to be a Muslim? Will a 1-bedroom apartment be sufficient?

The father is the guardian of the child all the time under the law.

Custodianship of the child is a subjective aspect under the discretion of the court.

As I understand from your question, you need to convince the judge that your custody is in the best interest of the child and for the welfare of the child.

I need to understand the facts cumulatively for giving the advice in detail.
