Frequently Asked Questions
- Why is the grandmother before the father in the order?
- The jurisprudential order places women with maternal ties before the father because children in early years need similar maternal care.
- Can the father request custody directly after the mother's death?
- He can request it, but the court first looks at the two grandmothers. If their custody conditions fail, custody passes to the father.
- Does the father's maintenance obligation continue?
- Yes fully. The mother's death does not affect the father's child support. The new custodian receives the maintenance to care for the children.
