California's Child Custody Laws

California law requires a judge to consider the best interests of the children when determining a custody/visitation case. The current law requires the family codes to be read gender neutral so that neither party will have an automatic advantage over the other. In fact, the court views shared custody as the ideal solution whenever possible, as involvement from both parents is viewed as best for the child unless domestic violence is involved.

The court may also seek to identify which parent is most likely to foster a healthy co-parenting relationship. Based on the health, safety, and well-being of the child, the judge will seek to make a decision that protects the child's interests and well-being based on a review of the individual facts of the case.
