Resolving Child Custody Disputes : The Law & Practice in Malaysia

The rising number of child custody cases involving parties from Malaysia's two family law systems, along with the lack of clear standards for the courts, has resulted in inconsistent court outcomes and widespread dissatisfaction among the parties. In such circumstances, unsatisfactory choices affect not only the persons involved, but also the entire community. This book is a study of such circumstances with the goal of developing solutions to the problems that arise as a result of them.

It examines current challenges, notably in conflict of law matters, by laying out the existing law, practise, and procedure in both systems. It also suggests answers to some of the issues that arise during the resolution of custody disputes.
