In California divorce cases, the courts step in and make decisions about children that only parents should be making.
Under California child custody laws, parents should share in making all future decisions about the health, education and welfare of their children. This is called "joint legal custody".
In cases where parents are not on good terms, it is in the best interests of the children to have one primary residence for the kids. The parent with whom the child or children live is granted physical custody, sometimes called "primary" physical custody in a "joint physical custody" arrangement. Joint custody does not mean a 50-50 split. It means the parents share time with the children to the best of their ability.

Parenting plans are developed by child custody mediation in California. The "time sharing" arrangements can affect the support guideline. Time sharing is what parenting is all about. Parents should focus their efforts on developing a "parenting plan" in child custody mediation in California. These plans deal with all aspects of raising children, including schooling, religion, holidays, vacations, transporting them from one parent to the other, and many other issues.
Please contact us to discuss a individually tailored parenting plan.
California child custody laws state that the California courts use child development specialists to try to assist parents in developing their own simple parenting plans. In some counties, the specialists, or mediators, will recommend to the court an outline of a bare-bones time sharing arrangement for the parents who can not come to any agreement on these. Less than two hours are allotted to each family to work out these plans in "mediation". Please also see child custody mediation preparation.
A party can lie, and many do, even under oath. Such lies amount to "perjury", a crime. Will they be punished? Rarely. Do we use their lies against them? Frequently.
Child custody laws in California are such that disputes can be worked out quickly, especially between two parents eager to cooperate on raising their children. These disputes can become prolonged, lasting weeks, months or years, if the parents or a parent is unwilling to work in the best interests of their children.
