Can a Foreign Parent Get Custody in Vietnam?

Yes, a foreign parent can get custody of their child in Vietnam. Many foreign parents assume the opposite, that a Vietnamese court will naturally favour the Vietnamese parent and that being a foreigner puts them out of the running before they start. That assumption is understandable, and it is wrong. Vietnamese law does not decide custody on nationality. It decides on what is best for the child, and a foreign parent stands to be judged by the same measure as anyone else.
