Explanation:
custody - in legal sense this word means "guardianship" or "protection". It is simply the legal right to look after a child, especially the right given to the child's father or mother when they become divorced.
guardianship - is the position of being a guardian
a custody case - sprawa o powierzenie opieki nad dzieckiem
