You can legally safeguard your child’s custody by appointing a guardian (such as your parents or a trusted relative) through a Will or a legal guardianship declaration. Given the history of domestic abuse, substance use, and gender discrimination by your husband and in-laws, the court is likely to consider your wishes seriously, especially if well-documented. This ensures that even in your absence, your child remains protected and in safe hands.
