Child custody in California is granted based on the child’s best interests. The court will consider factors like the child’s health, safety, and welfare. They will also look at the nature of the child’s relationship with each parent.
It is important to note that there are two types of custody: physical and legal. Legal custody is who has the right to make legal decisions for a child. Physical custody is who has the child living with them. California encourages both parents to share rights and responsibilities, but navigating custody decisions can be emotionally charged and legally complex.
