Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the custody and support arrangements for a minor child born to Yashita Sahu and Varun Varma, who were married in India and later moved to the USA. The Court upheld the Norfolk Court's order granting joint legal custody and shared physical custody, along with specified child support payments under the agreement reached by the parties. The Court emphasized the importance of cooperation between parents in the child's upbringing, particularly regarding communication and parenting time, thereby reinforcing the principles of shared parenting and child welfare.
