Is there a need to apply for custody of the child in the event of separation or divorce?

Under the situation, the husband and wife must decide on who to have custody of the child.

If both parties are mutually agreeable in this decision, no formal application is necessary.

However, if one party decides to contest the others right to keep the child, the wife must make a formal application to court to retain custody of the child.
