The best interests of the child are the paramount consideration in all matters concerning parental authority and custody under the Civil Code. We represent parents in applications to determine or vary custody, residence, contact and decision-making responsibility. Proceedings may arise on divorce, after separation, or when one parent wishes to relocate with the child. We prepare evidence on the child’s welfare, the capacity of each parent, and any history of care or risk. Where international elements exist (for example, a parent seeking to take a child abroad or a foreign custody order), we advise on the interaction between Cambodian law and relevant international instruments or foreign judgments. Our objective is to secure arrangements that are both legally sound and workable in practice for the child and the family.
