Frequently Asked Questions
- Is custody a right of the custodian or the child?
- A dual right — the custodian's right to care for the child, and the child's right to receive care. That is why it cannot be absolutely waived.
- Does custody include managing the child's money?
- No. Custody covers daily care only. Money management is financial guardianship (wilāya), usually remaining with the father or a court-appointed guardian.
- When does custody end?
- When the legal custody age ends, when forfeited by court, or when the child chooses to move to the father after reaching the set age.
