Holding and result
The trial magistrate failed to assign sufficient reasons for disrupting the residence of the children, who had lived with their father for seven years and for whom he was the main financial provider. The respondent did not have a secure and suitable place of abode for the children at the time custody was granted. The magistrate did not ascertain the wishes of the children, who were of an age to express their opinions. The paramount consideration is the welfare of the children, which includes maintaining stability and continuity in their residence. The order granting custody to the respondent was not justified by any essential need for the children's safety or welfare. Therefore, the appellate court set aside the lower court's order and granted custody of the three children to the father, with reasonable access for the mother.

- 03
Who of the parties should maintain the children.
- 04

Party arguments
- Applicant
- Counsel for the appellant argued that the trial magistrate erred by granting custody of the four children to the respondent without ascertaining the individual wishes of the children, who had been living with the appellant for seven years and for whom he had provided the greatest portion of financial support. The appellant further contended that the respondent did not have a secure and suitable place of abode for the children at the time custody was granted.
- Respondent
- Counsel for the respondent contended that having the children before the magistrate would not have served any useful purpose, as the appellant had allegedly brainwashed the children against their mother. The respondent maintained that the welfare of the children was paramount and that custody should be granted to her as the mother.

Court’s reasoning
Legal principles
- 01
Section 3 and First Schedule, The Children Act (Cap 59), Laws of Uganda
The welfare of the child is the paramount consideration in custody matters.
- 02
First Schedule, The Children Act (Cap 59), Laws of Uganda
Courts must consider the ascertainable wishes and feelings of the child, physical, emotional and educational needs, effects of changes in circumstances, age, sex, background, any harm suffered or at risk, and the capacity of parents to meet needs.
- 03
In Re Fynn 2 De G & Sam U57 at p474
Custody should not be disturbed unless essential to the safety or welfare of the child in some very serious and important respect.
- 04
J. V. C. (1970) AC 668 at p670
The effects of a change of custody may cause serious harm to children and must be given close and anxious attention.
06
Ratio, limits and disposition
Ratio decidendi
The trial magistrate failed to assign sufficient reasons for disrupting the residence of the children, who had lived with their father for seven years and for whom he was the main financial provider. The respondent did not have a secure and suitable place of abode for the children at the time custody was granted. The magistrate did not ascertain the wishes of the children, who were of an age to express their opinions. The paramount consideration is the welfare of the children, which includes maintaining stability and continuity in their residence. The order granting custody to the respondent was not justified by any essential need for the children's safety or welfare. Therefore, the appellate court set aside the lower court's order and granted custody of the three children to the father, with reasonable access for the mother.
Obiter and limits
- Highly educated parents ought to know what is in the best interests of their children.
- The writings of Bowlby and others highlight the severe damage caused by disruption of parent-child relationships.
- The policy of maintaining the child's residence prevails over considerations such as the opinion that young children are better with their mothers.
- A child's future happiness and sense of security are important factors in custody decisions.
Court disposition
appeal_allowed
- Custody of the three children is granted to the father.
- Reasonable access for the mother to the children is ordered.
- Each party will bear his/her own costs of the appeal and in the court below.

custody of the eldest son Anthony Gyagenda Matovu. Before me, Mr. Balukuddembe learned counsel for the appellant complained that the learned trial m agistrate refused to have the three children before for purposes of ascertaining their individual wishes. Mr. Kabito contended that having the children before her would not have served any useful purpose because appellant who was staying with them had ha d them brain washed against their mother the respondent. \par \par I proceed now to inquire whether this court should interfere with the order made by the learned trial magistrate. \par This is a very unfortunate case involving two highly educated individuals who have failed to lead a happy marriage. The appellant is said to be a lecturer at a medical school while respondent is a holder of a \'93Diplome\'94 in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of Fribourg which Makerere has equated to a masters Degree of th at renown university. It would appear that with all their learning, they have not been acquainted with the writings of BOWLBY (1951) and (1973) and others who regard disruption of parent \endash children relationship as severely damaging to children. But that is a by-the-way. \par \par It is trite to say that the expression \lquote custody\rquote in relation to children theoretically encompasses more than \'93care\'94 and \'93control\'94. It includes power to
make decisions on important matters of the child\rquote s education and upbringing. Hence the need for courts to be cautious before awarding an order of custody to either of the two claimants. \par \par Throughout the civilized world, in making decisions about custody of children, it is an acceptable principle that the court is to treat the welfare of th e child as paramount.

would happen to the children? \par \par When children are of an age to express an opinion (as it appears in this case) to which the court can give sympathetic consideration, they ought to be heard, and their views respected. \par \par Not only that. The policy of maintaining the child\rquote s residence has prevailed over counter veiling consideration such as the opinion that young children are better with their mothers then with their fathers. Since the learned trial magistrate did not assign any reason as to why she was disturbing the residence of these children, that o rder cannot be allowed to stand. These children should have remained where they were as indeed they have dispute the order of the lower court. Let me end by echoing the words of LORD MACDERMONT in }{\b\i\ul\insrsid14682015\charrsid10093199 J. V. C.

be cause by such a change.}{\insrsid10093199 ...}{\insrsid14682015\charrsid10093199 . a child\rquote s future happiness and a sense of security are always important factors and the effects of a change of custody will often be worthy of the close and anxious attention which they undoubtedly receive in this case.\'94 I pose here to observe that that was a case where the court granted custody to the foster parents as against the biological parents! \par }\pard \qj \li0\ri0\sl360\slmult1\widctlpar\aspalpha\aspnum\faauto\adjustright\rin0\lin0\itap0\pararsid10093199 {\insrsid14682015\charrsid10093199 \par The sum total of my judgment is that the custody of t he three children is granted to the father.
