Los Angeles Child Custody Lawyer
Child Custody Issues: Experienced Legal Counsel in Los Angeles
In California, custody is determined in regards to legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody gives a parent the right to make important decisions regarding the child's welfare, including such subjects as education, religion and medical care. It also allows the parent to obtain information about the child from schools, doctors, governments, and other such institutions. Courts almost always award joint legal custody to the parents, unless there is specific cause to believe this would not be in the best interests of the child. This requires that parents confer regarding these decisions.
Physical custody determines who the children will live with the majority of the time. Joint physical custody means the time with each parent is split relatively evenly. The basic schedule will be officially agreed upon as part of divorce proceedings but does not have to follow one set structure. Courts will award joint custody where possible, if both parents desire it. In certain circumstances, however, sole custody will be granted. In this case, the non-custodial parent will be granted certain visitation rights in almost all cases. All matters of custody are determined in alignment with the best interests of the children.
