Bombay High Court rejects 50:50 custody arrangement
Original: No ‘joint parenting’ concept in India: Bombay High Court sets aside 50:50 custody order
The Bombay High Court has set aside a family court order granting a father and mother equal, 50:50 custody of their child, holding that the concept of 'joint parenting' does not exist in Indian law. The ruling clarifies that custody decisions must rest on the child's welfare under existing legal frameworks rather than an automatic equal split, a position likely to shape how Indian family courts approach shared custody demands.
Why now: The ruling challenges a growing expectation of equal shared custody in Indian divorce cases, making it notable for parents and family law practitioners.
