You may not have to leave the child IF you are a good mother and raising your child providing him good care, love and affection, education and surroundings. The Courts will decide custody issue keeping in mind the "welfare of the child" and not as per statutory rights of the parties. You may consider sending a reply to his notice. If you need our help, you may send us a draft reply by e-mail. We will provide you adequate legal guidance without any charges.

Wish you good luck.
