But there are cases when the father can provide better conditions for the child. Then there are arguments. Court practice on determining the place of residence of the child with the father is currently quite extensive. Since 2017, many cases have ended in favor of the father. Having considered the circumstances of the case, the social status and peculiarities of the life of the father and mother, the court may decide that it is better for the child to stay with the father in order to ensure the rights and interests of the child. The court's decision to determine the place of residence of the child with the father is no longer rare.
