custody dispute
Fight over children
A custody dispute is a legal conflict between parents or guardians over who will have primary responsibility for a child.
These disputes typically arise during divorce or separation proceedings, though they can occur between unmarried parents or involve grandparents seeking custody rights.
The custody dispute dragged on for months.
Courts resolve such disputes based on the child's best interests.
