By Legal Light Consulting – LLC Lawyer
If you are living in India and your children are in the custody of your husband abroad, you still have the right to stay connected with them.
Many parents face the heartbreaking situation of being separated from their children due to international custody disputes. In such cases, Indian law provides a legal pathway to help you communicate and maintain your relationship with your children.
If you are a mother living in India and your children are in the care of your husband who lives abroad, you have the right to communicate with them. This guide explains the key legal step you can take to make sure this communication happens.
How to Legally Communicate with Your Children Abroad
How to Get a Court Order for Communication
You may file a case in a Court of competent jurisdiction in India and obtain a court order for facilitating communication with your children.
This legal order from an Indian court can help you talk to your children regularly. The court will determine the best way for you to communicate, such as through phone calls, video calls, or other methods. This court order can be an important tool to ensure your relationship with your children continues even when they are living in another country.
