Child custody petitions can be filed either where the child is ordinarily residing or where you, as the petitioner, are residing, depending on the relief sought. Since your son is living at Visakhapatnam, technically custody proceedings are maintainable there. However, you can file at Hyderabad and request transfer/consolidation of cases citing your work constraints and multiple litigations already pending. The court also considers the welfare of the child and the genuine hardship of both parents, including your wife’s health condition. Please connect with me through this platform so I can examine your divorce/DVC case papers and advise whether to file custody in Hyderabad directly or seek a transfer from the High Court for convenience.
