How Child Custody Is Determined in California?

Child custody decisions are being made based on the child's best interests. California law does not favor any one parent in a custody case. Historically, courts grant mothers full custody more often than fathers since they are often the caretakers of the children more so than the fathers.

Parents with child custody are often encouraged to settle terms in mediation, but a judge may determine guardianship if the parents cannot reach a custody agreement.
