How to distribute custody of adult children after divorce?

Legal analysis: If the parents are divorced and the child is a healthy adult, there is no question of custody. However, if an adult child is seriously ill, parents should also fulfill their support obligations after divorce. The distribution of custody of adult children after divorce should be based on the principle of being conducive to the healthy life of children.

Legal basis: Article 1084 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC), which states that the relationship between parents and children is not destroyed by parents' divorce. After the divorce, the child is still the child of both parents, whether or not the parents directly raise him.

After divorce, parents still have the right and obligation to raise, educate and protect their children.

After divorce, children under two years old are directly raised by their mothers. For a child who has reached the age of two, if both parents fail to reach an agreement on the issue of support, the people's court shall make a judgment based on the specific circumstances of both parties and the principle of being most beneficial to the minor children. Children over the age of eight should respect their true wishes.
