did you file any complaint or a case against your husband?? I need more facts to give you advice contact 9312411481
You may file an application in the competent Court. The Court which has the jurisdiction to try this application is where the child �ordinarily resides.� Subsection (1) of Section 9, Guardians and Wards Act, 1890, runs as follows: "If the application is with respect to the guardianship of the person of the minor, it shall be made to the District Court having jurisdiction in the place where the minor ordinarily resides."
In your case, if the children ordinarily resided in your mother�s place, then the Court of that district would have the proper jurisdiction. However, if the children ordinarily resided in the place of residence of your husband, that Court has the competent jurisdiction.
I would suggest you to get a lawyer to file an application regarding the custody of the children in the Court having jurisdiction to try this matter. You can call me at 09555 507 507 or send me a mail at [email protected]
