Orange County Child Custody Attorney

Child custody matters during a divorce proceeding are often the foremost conflict. Child custody matters need to address both physical or primary custody of the child(ren), rights and responsibilities regarding health and day-to-day care, and any other rights and responsibilities associated with a child's upbringing. In past years, courts routinely gave mothers physical custody of children and gave fathers just specific visitation rights. Courts today have begun to realize that sometimes it is in the best interest of the child(ren) that they actually reside with the father.

Moreover, California law encourages that joint child custody arrangements be made, allowing for both parents to have the rights and responsibilities of rearing the child(ren). Typically, California courts determine one parent as the primary custodial parent, and the other parent as having secondary child custody. In giving primary custodial custody to a particular parent, courts look to where the child or children are currently residing and what would be in the best interests of the child(ren).
