How the Courts Determine Custody in California
Child custody cases take into consideration the child's needs and best
interests. A court often looks into the wellbeing of the children and
works to reduce the impact that the divorce will have on the child's life.
Parents dealing with child custody are often encouraged to settle terms
in mediation, but if an agreement cannot be reached, a judge may determine
guardianship.
There are a few factors that determine if joint or legal custody should
be granted to one or both parents:
- History of abuse or domestic violence in the family
- Substance abuse committed by the parents
- The safety and health of the children
- Each parent's ability to provide for the children
