Written by: Attorney Khaled Mufrej Al-Dalmani - Attorney Khaled Mufrej Al-Dalmani Law Office and Legal Consultations

Child custody is one of the most contentious issues between spouses after divorce. In Kuwait, the Personal Status Law regulates custody provisions to ensure the child's best interests are paramount, without ignoring both parents' rights.

What does custody mean?

Custody is the care, education, protection, and doing everything necessary for a child until he reaches an age when he no longer needs care.
