legal custody of child

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

It's actually a lot more straightforward than most people think.
You need to apply for sole custody at the local court. You'll be summoned to appear in front of the judge, in his private office, to expose your case. He might want to hear the children too.
If the mother is a no-show, or agrees, he will issue the court decision.
Your costs are only for the lawyer, about $1000, depending where.

I have been through the whole legal process, so I'll share my experience. The custody issue was decided in the Municipal Court. The first 2 hearings were private, as mentioned by a previous poster, but the last was not. I was awarded full custody, as I had a far better case.
The mother appealed to both the Appeals Court and Supreme Court, who both upheld the original decision. The Supreme Court did not ask for a bribe. Draw your own conclusions about the others.
Full custody of my 2 kids still allows the mother access, like in other countries. This is limited to a minimum 4 hours per week, at a time and venue determined by me, the custodian. I can accompany the kids or delegate others to do so, for security purposes.
I hope the information is helpful.

Just curious> do you and the kids live in Cambodia?
if you choose to leave and return to your own country, legally... can you? ( as obviously the mother would not have access as would not be able to obtain a visa)

Just to clarify, is this a minimum or maximum of 4 hours per week?
