Child Custody Legal Services You Can Trust!

In determining child custody, California courts consider factors such as the best interests of the child, the child's health, safety, and welfare, the nature and amount of contact with both parents, and any history of domestic violence or substance abuse.

Child support in California is calculated using a statewide guideline formula. The formula considers both parents' incomes, the percentage of time each parent spends with the child, tax deductions, and other relevant factors.

Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions about the child's life, such as education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Physical custody determines where the child lives and the logistics of their day-to-day care.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, you should seek immediate safety, which may include calling the police or going to a safe place. It's important to document the abuse, seek medical attention if needed, and consider obtaining a restraining order. Consulting with an attorney can also help you understand your legal options and rights.
