Child custody determines the legal relationship between the children and each parent. It determines which parent the child resides with and who has the right to make important decisions. 

Child custody disputes arise after a divorce or separation. If both parents agree, they can create a parenting plan detailing the primary custodian and visitation hours. But if they cannot agree, the court will pass a child custody judgment based on the best interests of the child.

What Determines Child Custody in California?

California courts will always consider the best interests of your children. Thus, any physical custody, legal custody, and visitation plan must be in the child's best interests. To decide what's best for the child, it will consider the following factors: 

·        Age of the Child

·        Health of the Child

·        The ability of each parent to take care of the child

·        The relationship shared by the child with each parent

·        Whether either parent has a history of domestic violence or substance abuse 

·        Where the child goes to school

·        The child's involvement in the community
