Under Kenyan law, both parents have a right to access and custody of their child — Immani Legal AI lets you understand your rights and options in a child custody dispute, free, on your phone, in English or Kiswahili. Why this happens: Child custody disputes can be emotionally challenging, especially when one parent denies the other access to their child. The usual advice to seek a court order can be daunting and time-consuming. However, for many everyday disputes, there's a faster option. How Immani Legal AI works in this specific context: Immani Legal AI helps you understand your rights as a parent under the Children Act, 2001, and the relevant provisions of the Kenyan Constitution. You can ask questions, upload documents, and draft letters to assert your rights. What happens next, concretely:

1. You can file a dispute on Immani, stating your ex-partner's phone number and describing the situation.
2. Both parties will be notified immediately, and there will be a short private window to respond and engage directly.
3. If there is no response, the dispute becomes visible to anyone who looks up that phone number within Immani.
4. The dispute only closes when both sides confirm they have engaged and reached an understanding. Immani and Immani Legal AI are not law firms and do not provide legal advice.
