Re: Adopted child custody

LOOKING TO THE FACTS NARRATED BY YOU, YOU CAN CERTAINLY GET THE CUSTODY OF YOUR CHILD

Re: Adopted child custody

first of all, you should remove the word "adopted" from your mind and in all your communications.

After adoption, the child is yours just like a natural born child to you. Therefore, you are the mother (and not "adopted" mother) for all legal purposes.

If the child is capable of expressing her wish, the court will consider her wish while deciding her custody.

Usually the custody of a female child is awarded to mother.

Therefore, you have a very good chance of getting child's custody in the given circumstances.

you are also entitled to adequate maintenance for yourself and for the child out of income of your husband.

Re: Adopted child custody

From facts stated above it can be said that custody can be given to you by court. Final decision is of court ofcourse.
