In California, fathers have the same rights as mothers in custody disputes. The court considers various factors to determine custody arrangements, focusing on the best interests of the child. The best interest of the child includes the health, safety, and welfare of the child, and the relationship the child has with both parents. Fathers seeking custody or visitation rights should demonstrate their involvement and commitment to the child’s well-being. If you’re a father navigating a custody dispute, you need an experienced child custody attorney like Kendall Gkikas & Mitchell, LLP to help present their case. Schedule a consultation with us today to learn how we can help protect your rights and advocate for your child’s best interests.
