I have a 5year old daughter and I have gradually convinced my wife for file a case for my son.Can this thing go against me that why I file the case after such a long period aprox 12years.

Yes you can file the application to take custody of your son but before taking the custody you have to prove that your wife is not taking the care of your son and also you have to prove that your wife is not able to take the care of your son so you can file the custody for your child

Dear client , please note the legal heir of the child is always his father, but in twelve years period you never turned up at him then why morally spoiling the life of your own blood. even your visit or contact may affect the psychology of that child.as you are meeting first-time child due to an excitation try to respect you and disrespect to present father or his mother, try to appear in the shoes of his mother and take proper decision.do not hesitate for contact.please rate me on law rato.
