If you are currently in the process of a divorce, you may have concerns about whether or not you will succeed with legal or physical custody of your child. It is important to be aware of the factors that the courts will take into account when granting custody. In California, courts will always put the best interests of the children involved first, and this usually means ensuring that each parent has a strong presence in the child’s life. There are, however, exceptions to such arrangements, such as if a parent has a history of substance addiction or domestic abuse.
When determining the legal and physical custody arrangements for families, the courts will consider the schedule and lifestyle of the child, as well as the schedule of each parent. They will also review and evaluate family dynamics, including the relationship of the child with each parent and any siblings, as well as each parent’s ability to provide a home environment that is nurturing and safe. If the courts deem the child to be mature enough, they will consider the child’s preference as long as there is no reason to believe that their opinion was coerced by a parent.
Complex divorce cases, such as highly disputed issues and large marital estates, can drive up the cost of a marriage. Other factors that can influence the cost of legal fees and the divorce may also include the number of children involved, the length of the marriage, and whether there are complex assets, such as a co-owned business involved in the estate. It’s important to work with a lawyer who is transparent with you about their fees and the potential costs at the initial consultation so that there are no surprises down the line.
