Sometimes innocent children are left to the ground in legal disputes between divorced parents. For the rest of their lives, they are caught between two poles and their careers are at stake. A similar family matter had reached the courtroom in Surat. When the court hearing was held after the holidays of the Corona period, the local court has found a very interesting and exemplary solution to this family confusion. Let us tell you the whole thing about this case in detail.
According to the information received about this case, Seemaben, a resident of Surat, was married to Rameshbhai (name changed). During his marriage life, he had a daughter named Kusum (name changed). After some time there was a quarrel between husband and husband and both of them got divorced by consent. Daughter Kusum has grown up to be 13 years old and lives at her maternal uncle’s house in Baroda. On the other hand, the mother remarried with Kapilbhai (name changed) living in France and divorced her as well. He also had a child from the second marriage.
Meanwhile, Kapilbhai, who lives in France, filed an application in the court through his lawyer Viral Mehta with the intention of taking responsibility for the upbringing of daughter Kusum from Seemaben’s first marriage. As is well known, due to the lockdown during the Corona period, the court work was stopped. Now that Corona is on leave, the courts are back to work. In this family matter, Surat’s Family Court held an online hearing and Kapilbhai appeared in the hearing from France and demanded Kusum’s custody. The court, after hearing the arguments of both the sides, decided that in view of Kusum’s future, she can go to France with her stepfather Kapilbhai and she can pursue further practice and make her career.
Another interesting aspect related to this case was that whenever the custody of a minor is given to a person other than his immediate parents, there is a technical problem in linking the name of the father with the names of such children. . Such children feel the need to write the father’s name during higher practice and face difficulties when such children are not living with their immediate father. The court also resolved this problem by ordering that Kusum can add the name of her stepfather instead of her real father to her name by applying to the Surat Municipal Corporation. In this regard, the Court of Surat Municipal Corporation has also been informed through Advocate Viral Mehta. Overall, the gist of this story is that keeping in view the future of a 13-year-old girl, the court has given her custody to her stepfather, leaving behind her parents and now Kusum will live in France for the rest of her life.
