Children clinging to mother no ground to deny father custody: Allahabad High Court · indianexpress.com

The Allahabad High Court decided that two young children should live with their father.

The children are seven and three years old.

The court said their safety, care, and best interests were most important.

It considered that the father had money, a home, and was ready to look after their education and upbringing.

The children had been living with their mother and maternal grandfather.

They were emotionally attached to them and did not want to leave them during a court interaction.

The court said this did not necessarily mean they disliked or rejected their father.

The mother can visit them each week and speak with them by video call every day.
