The protection of the rights and interests of child custody is an important part of the international family law. At present, the most universal principle for the protection of children's rights and interests — children benefit maximum principle.
Based on the particularity of children, countries in dealing with a child custody dispute will take into account the urgency and final judgment. On the one hand, children's growth cannot be separated from stable family environment factors, on the other hand, we should try our best to avoid the unstable factors brought by parenting disputes to children's physical and mental development. Therefore, in the judgment and enforcement of child custody disputes, many places in China have set up special courts for international custody disputes.
Child custody is a highly challenging matter in marital proceedings. Who receives custody of the kids depends on a variety of criteria, including both parents' wishes, the children's age and gender, both parents' financial situations, whether the children are taken in by relatives who are elderly, and the circumstances in which they are raised.
We assisted a father who was determined to win custody of his children, and when the mother and father were both financially stable, we were able to win joint custody of both the children.
Please feel free to talk to us about this contentious issue whenever you like; we may serve as your counsellor.
We have dealt with a case where the mother is a company executive earning 600,000 RMB per year and the father is an Engineer earning 800,000 RMB annually. Despite the fact that the mother had moved to overseas with the child, we eventually succeeded in returning the child to China and assisting the father in obtaining custody.
If one party is expected to pay on a monthly basis, it is particularly challenging to obtain child support payments in cross-border marital situations. We can file a petition with the court and ask the other party to provide child support in one lump payment, or we can arrange to divide the property first and ask the other party to provide additional property as child support.
