California Custody Terms

In California, there are two types of custody:

• Legal custody: If a parent living in Orange County has legal custody of a child, they’re responsible for making many decisions about that child’s life. These include medical treatment, education, and religious influence. Often, joint legal custody is preferred, where both parents share decision-making rights equally, regardless of which parent has physical custody
• Physical custody: If a parent has physical custody, they have their child living in the same residence with them

An attorney can relentlessly protect your child’s best interests as it relates to their future and your parenting goals. They can also create a child custody agreement specific to your situation that’s innovative, tailored to your situation, and addresses your child’s needs.

In all Orange County child custody cases, the court’s decisions are typically led by what’s in the best interest of this specific child. Each custody determination hinges on being able to prove that one parent can protect the interests of that child, and a family law attorney can gather evidence to build a compelling case on your behalf. They can craft a persuasive argument to show that:

• Your lifestyle is stable
• Your child chooses to live with you (if they’re old enough)
• You can provide sufficient food and shelter
• You are financially stable
• You’re mentally and physically fit
• You have a demonstrable, supportive relationship with your child
• Your life won’t disrupt your child’s existing lifestyle

With approximately 307,000 residents, Orange County’s bustling courts focus on parental stability and encourage parental involvement. Ideally, your child can continue a relationship with both of their parents, regardless of the formal custody decision. An attorney can advocate for your interests throughout this process.

Orange County Child Support

In Orange County, detailed rules determine child support payments. Many parents disagree over the amount that should be provided to care for a child. A court can finalize the amount of child support, but circumstances often change that require modifications to this amount post-divorce. If you need help with protecting your child’s rightful support payments or modifying an existing order, an attorney can gather information to build a compelling case.
