How Are Guardianship Disputes Resolved in Jordan?

❓Frequently Asked Questions

What are common types of guardianship disputes?

Disputes over who holds guardianship (father, grandfather, uncle), removing one parent's guardianship, transferring funds-guardianship without person-guardianship, disputes over a specific decision (school, treatment, travel), and disputes over custodian appointment.

Who else intervenes besides the judge?

The Family Reconciliation Committee (mandatory amicable procedure before ruling in many cases), psychological experts assessing the child's interest, and sometimes hearing the child himself if he has reached the age of discretion.

Can a guardianship-dispute ruling be appealed?

Yes; appealed before the Sharia Court of Appeal, then cassation before the Court of Cassation if grounds exist (legal violation, error in applying a text). Appeals are filed within a defined legal period — typically 30 days.
