  1. Can some one guide me. the minor has not been given maintenace and the defence of the father has been struck off. Now the passport office has asked for a letter from the court that the minor is with the mother Will the mother be required to file a guardian ship application or the certificate in the name of passport office be issued by the family judge presently trying the case.

  2. Underestimate child visitation at your peril. While it is becoming a hot topic for debate, child visitation is featuring more and more in the ideals of the young and upwardly mobile. It is an unfortunate consequence of our civilizations history that child visitation is rarely given rational consideration by the aristocracy, trapped by their infamous history. Complex though it is I shall now attempt to provide an exhaustive report on child visitation and its numerous 'industries'.

  5. Need advice:
    I have the full unconditional custody from the Pakistani court of my 6-year-old son. I want to take him to the United States with me, but the embassy is refusing his Visa for mixed reasons. In the US, one of the parents has to either relinquish the custody of minor, or the court will consider the child to be abandoned by that parent. In my case, my ex had abandoned the child. Further, in the US, your current wife should take your child in adoption to enjoy the parental rights of your child. Where can I get the relinquishing certificate or adoption certificate in Pakistan?
