How Karachi Family Courts Decide Custody

Key Considerations

Family courts in Karachi evaluate:

  • Child’s Age & Needs – Recognizing varied needs from infancy to adolescence.
  • Emotional Connection – Quality of relationship with each guardian.
  • Living Conditions – Stability of housing, schooling environment, and basic care.
  • Parenting Environment – Moral grounding, financial capability, and emotional support.
  • Child’s Voice – Older children’s opinions are given weight, where appropriate.

Making Your Case Stronger

We help you build a compelling case by documenting everyday routines, schooling performance, caregiving arrangement, and consistent parental involvement.

Common FAQs in Guardianship & Custody Cases

1. How long does a custody case take in Karachi?

Interim decisions can come in weeks; full resolution may take several months depending on the court’s backlog.

2. What if the other parent ignores the order?

You can request enforcement proceedings to ensure the court-ordered arrangements are honored.

3. Can I change an existing custody order later?

Yes, through a modification petition if there’s a material change (e.g., relocation, schooling, safety concerns).

4. Do mothers automatically get custody?
