Frequently Asked Questions
Who usually gets custody of a child under 5 in Nepal?
The Muluki Civil Code 2074 prioritizes the best interests of the child, and mothers typically receive primary custody of children under five unless the parties agree otherwise.
Can visitation and maintenance terms be structured separately?
Yes. Custody, visitation, and child maintenance can be structured as separate terms of the arrangement, and we draft each to reflect the child’s welfare and both parents’ circumstances.
