Child Custody: How to Change or Create Child Custody.

Child custody can be changed if there is any type of endangerment, abuse or neglect by a parent. You will need evidence that will hold up in court in order to change or create your custody agreement. We will uncover this evidence if it exists!

California law does not show preference to any one parent in a custody case. Custody decisions are to be made based on the child’s best interests. That being said, mothers are historically granted custody more often than fathers, since they are often the caretakers. This does not mean that fathers have or will have limited custody.
There are two types of Child Custody in the state of California – legal and physical. Legal custody pertains to which parent is granted the right and responsibility to make important decisions regarding a child. This includes making choices about a child’s education, health and welfare. Physical custody, on the other hand, addresses which parent a child resides with.

Child custody is not automatically awarded to one parent or the other in the state of California. Rather, the court considers a number of factors when making child custody determinations. According to the Judicial Council of California, these include the following:

The child’s age.
The child’s health.
The emotional ties between the child and each parent.
The ability of each parent to care for the child.
The child’s ties to his or her home, school and community.
Any history of substance abuse or family violence.
The state’s Judicial Council points out that custody cannot be denied to a parent because he or she has a different religion, lifestyle or sexual orientation. Additionally, the court may not use a parent’s physical disability as grounds to deny him or her custody.
