As long as the parents are alive, they remain the natural guardian of a minor Hindu child. Divorce does not alter that legal position. However, custody may be a matter of mutual arrangement or court order. Guardianship and Custody are different issues. An order of custody may be varied on change of situation. You may file an application for custody of your child or seeking visitation rights at any time time till the child is minor.
