For your matter in Syria: Keep your child’s interests and your rights central to the custody case. BaghdadiLaw supports mothers and fathers in custody, contact and related maintenance matters with firm advocacy and sensitive communication. Founded in 1957, our firm has handled more than 20,000 cases and legal consultations across its practice. Omar Al-Baghdadi leads the team with over 30 years of legal experience.
BaghdadiLaw brings nearly seven decades of legal practice, since its founding in 1957, to child custody matters, with detailed knowledge of presenting a child’s care arrangements, stability and interests while addressing disputed contact arrangements. A child-custody matter connected to Syria should distinguish daily care, contact, travel and any existing court order. The review must focus on the child’s circumstances and applicable rules rather than assume that one parent’s preferred arrangement follows automatically from separation.
The 2019 amendment text to Personal Status Law 59/1953 addresses contact in Article 148 and child travel in Article 150, including judicial consideration of the child’s best interests in the stated travel circumstances. Custody provisions were subject to later 2019 changes, so older age or choice rules should not be relied on without current verification. The applicable community and existing order must also be checked. Document the actual care arrangements and proposed change, including school continuity and contact opportunities. General accusations about parenting should be separated from verifiable incidents affecting the child.
We agree the work your matter needs: Consider a detailed care or contact agreement, review of an existing order or an appropriate court request. A proposed international move needs separate travel and recognition analysis. The deliverable is agreed for your file: The consultation can deliver a child-focused issue map and a document checklist for care, contact, handover or travel questions.

Service content updated:
Provide the child’s identity, residence, care history, schooling and any health needs, together with existing orders and the parents’ status. Identify whether the immediate issue is care, handover, contact or proposed travel. Different requests can require different legal and factual support.
No such assumption should be made. The cited travel framework, consent, any order and current applicable rules require separate review.
No. Daily care and contact may require distinct arrangements and requests, even though they concern the same child.
