Yes， the court can make a ruling on child custody even if the parents have not reached an agreement. In cases where parents cannot agree on child custody， the court will make a ruling based on what is in the best interest of the child. The court will consider various factors such as the child's age， relationship with each parent， and any special needs of the child.
It is always best for parents to try and reach an agreement on child custody before going to court. This can be done either through mediation or by negotiating directly with each other. However， if the parents are unable to reach an agreement， the court will step in and make a ruling.
It is important for parents to understand that once a court order for child custody is made， they must comply with it. Failure to do so can lead to legal consequences such as fines or even imprisonment.
In summary， while it is always preferable for parents to agree on child custody arrangements outside of court， the court has the authority to make a ruling on child custody if necessary. The court will always prioritize the best interests of the child when making its decision.
