Islamabad has legal jurisdiction because the child resides there.
✅ Faisalabad court filing is weak due to wrong jurisdiction.
✅ Decisions in Faisalabad will NOT override Islamabad proceedings.
✅ Child meeting/visitation will take place in Islamabad.
✅ Child does NOT have to go to Faisalabad.

✅ Your lawyer is correct.

Thank you for explaining your situation. Based on what you’ve shared, if your daughter and the child have been permanently residing in Islamabad for several years and this has been proved in court, then the Guardian Court at Faisalabad does not have jurisdiction under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. The correct jurisdiction lies where the minor ordinarily resides, which is Islamabad in your case.

Therefore, any order or proceedings initiated in Faisalabad based on a wrong address or false residence claim can be challenged as void and without lawful authority. Your lawyer is correct — the custody and visitation proceedings should properly take place in Islamabad, and the child cannot be compelled to appear or travel to Faisalabad for meetings.

we can assist you in preparing a jurisdictional objection and protective application if needed, to ensure the child’s safety and the validity of Islamabad proceedings.
