RE:Custody of Children (modified 0 times) Jeff Hi Remora,referring to your statement of "malaysian child custody laws, it is my understanding in a case of no marriage, malaysian courts automatically award the children to the mother". Is there any exceptional case? For example, the mother have divorce record with 1 child. However, she didn't take care the child properly. I.e. Leave the child with parents who stayed in other state and hardly back to visit them. Further, the mother do not have strong income compare to the husband? 30 Jun, 2009 10:01:21
