The interest of the child is what is important when it comes to child custody. Custody will go to the parent who proves they can take better care of the child. If the child is still very tender, the court will grant the mother custody unless it can be proved that the mother is not mentally and physically capable of caring for the child.


If the father of your child abuses you physically, you can file a criminal complaint against him in court.
