Court Of Appeals Issued The Custody Of Children To Father

24 August 2017 Crime News

The Court of Appeals overturned the verdict issued by the Family Court which awarded a mother the custody of her children and obliged the father to provide for the welfare of the children. The appellate court instead awarded custody to the father and ordered the mother to handover the children to their father. The mother had sued her estranged husband and demanded custody of their children as well as child support and family maintenance worth KD 300 monthly and additional KD 1,000 for buying furniture. The defense counsel Lawyer Mubarak Al-Khashab appealed the verdict of the Family Court, stressing that the court had misruled as it did not consider the evident violations committed by the plaintiff who had relinquished custody to her mother (the children’s maternal grandmother). Through that, the custody had been given to someone out of the lawsuit and dispute.
