Re: divorse / child coustody
custody of a daughter depends on the facts of case how they are presented by your lawyer and on the judge. Even if she engage you in 498a it wont stand after such a long time
Re: divorse / child coustody
If the inlaws have got a criminal background then court will not grant the custody to them in that case you may handed over the custody of the child.
And as far the name/education/sect is concerned you are completely entitled to giver her the name and education of your choice.
Contact a good lawyer as you have got a strong case.
