Child Custody

California Custody Law

In Los Angeles, California, child custody cases are sometimes settled within the divorce proceedings. However, in some circumstances, a separate trial may take place to ensure that the child’s best interests are taken into consideration.

Those items can include, but are not limited to:

• Activities each spouse is involved in with the child(ren)
• Amount of time each spouse currently spends with the child(ren)
• Parents promoting a healthy and positive relationship with the child/other parents
• Volatile circumstances that interrupt the child’s quality of life, including arguments, threats, negativity, or any type of domestic violence
• Both parents’ schedules for work, travel, and commitments outside the home

Each child custody case is different, and specific instances of each category listed above may be applied to your child custody case as a genuine focus that benefits your success in front of a judge.
