Facts about Child Custody in California

California primarily issues joint legal custody to parents. Joint custody allows both parents to share decision making duties regarding the well being of the child, including but not limited to:

• Schooling
• Religion
• Medical matters
• Extracurricular activities

Physical custody is typically determined by a co-parenting agreement. It is generally recognized that it is important for a child to have a place to call home. Joint physical custody is another option, but does not necessarily mean an even split in custody. Various arrangements for joint physical custody can be made. Because of the large number of custody options in California, it is important to have an experienced attorney to inform you of your options as you seek to protect your parental rights and the best interests of your children.

Modification and Enforcement of Custody Agreements

Custody and visitation agreements are always subject to modification down the road. For modification of an agreement to be approved, there must be a demonstrable change in a parent or child's circumstances.

Child custody cases require quality counsel from an experienced attorney. Contact us today for your free initial case evaluation.
