Indian courts can issue:
a) Permanent Custody – Final decision after full hearing; determines who will have long-term custody.
b) Interim Custody – Temporary arrangement while the case is ongoing.
c) Visitation Rights – Allows the non-custodial parent to meet the child on weekends, holidays, or special occasions.
d) Joint Custody – Shared custody arrangement where both parents actively participate in the child’s life.
e) Sole Custody – Only one parent gets full physical and legal custody, usually in cases involving abuse, neglect, or instability.
