Hi, You can't take the custody of the child.

2. After the death of your brother your sister-in-law and her son are the absolute owner of the properties which is left behind by your brother.

I just wish to safeguard interest of both the child and his mother but she will do whatever his parents will say. What can I do in this situation.

Under the given situation, her parents are adamant to see their daughter re-married and has a secured future and they feel that her son would be a problem if he remains with his mother on her remarriage hence they may try to keep the son with them and also since they do not have sons they may like to keep this male heir with them.

In the circumstance it is for Anita to take a decision and nobody can force her decide as per their desire.

You cannot legally force her to agree to your desire and plans yo have about her. She may agitate and leave the house permanently too which will be a total loss to you.

Can we take child's custody or what will be her right on his husband's property if she go to her parents home.

She being a legal heir to her deceased husband, she has full rights to claim her legitimate share in the intestate property left behind by her deceased husband along with her son. She cannot claim only she is remarried to somebody.

For child's custody, she has the full custody of her child being a natural guardian to the child after the demise of her husband, no law can interfere in her this rights until her act is endangering the child's safety.

On what ground court can deny custody to mother

No legal provision to deny custody of her child to her until she is proved to be mentally affected and her state of health may endanger the safety and life of her child.

1. There is nothing you can do within the periphery of law to either stop her from remarrying or taking away the child with her. If she goes away with the child the maximum which her in-laws can do is file a petition for child custody to get visitation right to meet the child.

2. She along with her child and mother-in-law has succeeded to the property of her husband. Her right will not be curtailed even if she goes away.

1) you cannot stop your sister in law and your niece from staying with her father merely because he is alcoholic

2)merely because you are rich and her parents are poor is also no ground for denying the mother custody of her daughter

1. Is your elder brother ready to marry Anita? If yes then it solves all the problem,

2. If no, then you can not stop her going with her parents since she is an adult,

3. If her child is minor in age, you can not stop her taking custody of her child,

4. However, if she remarries, you can file an application seeking her child's custody for his welfare.

1. She, her son and your mother will have equal share on the property of your deceased brother,

2. If she remarries, she will cease to have any right on her earlier husband's properties.

1. If child is under the age of 5 years, mother is considered as natural guardian and generally expected to get the child's custody,

2. While granting custody, child's welfare is considered as of paramount interest.

1. Yes, in the given circumstances, you can claim the child's custody on the ground that it will be for his welfare,

2. Try to convince your sister in law to see reasons for her own child.

If she leaves our home, she will be living with her parents. Her father is an alcoholic, not financially well, had been involved in money disputes, she is unemployed, only 12th passed. So can we fight on the basis that she and her child will have better future with us rather than with him, especially when she is not ready to remarry. Or is there any provision which can stop her and the kid to stay with her father on the above grounds.

Firstly you should be aware that she is not a kid that she will not be able to chose her life of her choice.

You cannot interfere in her life though you may be a well wisher. You can advise her, you can explain her the drawbacks in deciding to stay in her parents house.

You may convince her to return to your place where she can live like a queen.

But you cannot force her to oblige to your desire nor the law can force her to be with you.

As her mother and in the absence of the child's father, she is the natural guardian of her minor child, the law cannot forcibly separate the child from the mother on any ground especially on the grounds what you mentioned.

You should put your affectionate efforts to convince her and bring her as well as the child back to your home and can take care of them accordingly.

Yes on the touchstone of welfare of child you can claim the custody of child. In child custody cases the only consideration is the welfare of child.
