Cases of child custody and maintenance are becoming quite popular in children courts across the globe. Normally, it is the mother of the child who is supposed to take care of the young one until they reach a certain age when they can make sound decisions.

As per the Kenyan law, the mother is expected to get the child's full custody until the child is aged 18 years.  However, according to Kenya Law Resource Centre, a legal journal, custody can be given to any of the child's parents, guardian, or any person who applies for it with the consent of the initial custodian.
