Irrespective of the gender of the child the Courts tend to grant custody of the child 5 years or below to the mother. However, if the circumstances are adverse for the welfare of the child then only the custody is given to the father. Feel free to contact me for seeking any legal advice/assistance as regards the same.

till 7 years, the custody is compulsorily with the mother. later, you can file custody petition thereby demanding and claiming custody of your son. till that if you have filed any application, you have to make an application for visitation rights
