Women have more right to custody of children than men, in principle custody belongs to them, because they are more compassionate and more kind, and they know better how to raise small children, and they are more patient in dealing with the difficulties involved. The mother has more right to custody of her child, whether it is a boy or a girl, so long as she does not re-marry and so long as she meets the conditions of custody. This is according to scholarly consensus.

The conditions of custody are: being accountable (i.e., an adult of sound mind etc.), being free (as opposed to being a slave), being of good character, being a Muslim if the child concerned is a Muslim, and being able to fulfil all obligations towards the child. The mother should not be married to a person who is a stranger (i.e., not related) to the child. If one of these conditions is not fulfilled and there is an impediment such as insanity or having remarried, etc., the woman forfeits the right to custody, but if that impediment is removed, then the right to custody is restored. But it is best to pay attention to the interests of the child, because his rights come first.

1) If she get remarry without divorce from first husband (you) than you can ask child custody with you.

 

2) If still you don't get custody of your child than the child has rights in your property and mother's property as well. And whatsoever property she receives from her parents that boy to have rights in the property as a inherited property later on not now.

  1. Yes, you can get the custody of the boy by following the due process of law.
  2. You should file an application for the custody of the boy before the court of law.
  3. Reasons would remain same as you are more capable enough to take good care of the boy as he might not get the same while growing with the maternal grandparents.

1. If the court by an order has given custody of the child to the mother, then if she neglects the child due to her remarriage, then you can file a child custody case based on the change of atmosphere.

2. No, the baby cannot claim rights over their property neither in your property at least not during your lifetime 

3. NO.
