The Hindu Marriage Act and the Hindu minority and guardianship act provides for mothers and the first and foremost natural guardian of a child specially if they are under the age of 5 years.

The grant of visitation rights are decided on the merits of the case. Visitation rights and child custody can also be mutually agreed upon both parties.

You can fight for your son's custody till your son attains the age of 5yrs. Thereafter your husband can also equally fight for your son's custody. Duration of visitation hours is not generally fixed and it depends upon the court Order.
