How does California determine child custody in divorce cases?

In California, family courts determine child custody based on what they perceive to be in the child’s best interests. Several factors contribute to this decision, including the child’s age, overall health, emotional bonds with both parents, and the ability of each parent to properly care for the child. The court will also consider the child’s school and community involvement, as well as any history of abuse or neglect.
