A child's custody usually rests with the mother until exceptional issues occur - Oluwatodimu Ige
In an exclusive chat with a popular Nigerian lawyer, Oluwatodimu Ige, fondly referred to as Oga_thelawyer, he outlined the typical legal framework regarding child custody.
He also mentioned that fathers can be granted full custody of their children under specific circumstances.
"The child's custody usually rests with the mother, especially if the child is a minor.
"The father will be granted access to the child on weekends and holidays or subject to the arrangement between parties. The terms of the custody can also be laid out by a court of competent Jurisdiction.
"People who are married under the act (registry, church, etc.) can approach the high court on custody issues, while those who are not married can approach the magistrate court to address the issues pertaining to custody of the child.
"Please note that the father can only be granted full custody of the child if he can establish/prove that the mother cannot take care of the child on the grounds of insanity, drug abuse, and special circumstances."
