Answer
(Fatwa: 1449/1260=B/1429)
In case of divorce, if the child is a boy then the mother has the right to nurture him till he is seven year old and if the child is a girl then the mother has the right to bring up her till she is mature. After this, the father can keep both the children with him. Also, it is necessary for the father to pay all expenditures incurred during nourishing the boy or girl.
(2) We are unable to say a word without seeing those documents; therefore you should send a copy of the documents of the court.
