Co-Parenting with Clarity: Creating Child-Centered Custody Plans
When a marriage ends, it doesn’t mean parenting ends.
But without guidance, separating couples often get trapped in custody battles that harm the very child they’re trying to protect.
At Sulajjh, I offer a softer, structured way forward:
Child-focused mediation—where we co-create parenting plans that respect both parents and put the child’s emotional needs at the center.
What Mediation Offers (Legally + Emotionally)
In India, the court considers “the welfare of the child” paramount under custody laws (Guardians and Wards Act, Hindu Minority & Guardianship Act). But litigation often turns that principle into a tug-of-war.
Mediation changes that. Here’s how:
- Jointly drafted parenting plans—covering school, holidays, expenses, routines
- Flexible agreements you can later submit to court under mutual consent divorce (Section 13B)
- Calm space to resolve visitation disagreements, without shaming or scoring points
Why It Works
- You get to parent consciously, not just legally.
- Your child sees cooperation—not court summons.
- You avoid months (or years) of emotionally draining court hearings.
If You’re Saying “I Just Can’t Take It Anymore”
I’ve seen separated parents agree on shared school events, alternate weekend plans, and even collaborative WhatsApp updates—just through 2–3 sessions of child-centered mediation.
If You’re Worried About “Losing Your Child”
Let’s start with one honest conversation.
At Sulajjh, you’ll never be reduced to “visitation” or “custody rights.” You’ll be heard as a parent—one who loves deeply but needs direction.
