Can a Father Get 50/50 Custody in California?

California child custody laws do not mandate a 50-50 custody time for fathers seeking joint physical custody. However, joint physical custody is generally synonymous with a 50/50 custody program in California.

Accordingly, joint physical custody is appropriate as each parent has significant time with the children.

Custody Matters Our New Port Beach Lawyers Assist In

Divorce

  • A key issue of divorcing couples with minor children is custody. If the parties cannot agree on terms, our divorce lawyers can get your matter in front of a judge.

Modifications

  • Sometimes a custody agreement that worked at the time of case conclusion may not work later down the road. Our custody attorney can help you get your modification case before a judge, if the parties cannot agree on the arrangement.

Separation

  • Even though a separating couple is still legally married, many times couples must reach agreements on child custody and visitation.

Paternity

  • If the parents of a child are not married at the time of birth, they must legally establish paternity for the father to gain parental legal rights.

Parents’ Rights

Grandparents’ Rights

  • There are a few circumstances in which a grandparent may need to exercise their legal right to a grandchild. We will help you in this endeavor and aggressively advocate for your rights.

Enforcement

  • Sometimes parents may refuse to honor a child custody order, even when it is legally required. Our custody lawyers will help you get the other parent to participate with the custody agreement.

Relocation

  • If you must move a great distance from the other parent, you may need to modify a custody agreement to reflect this move. This can be a difficult task, but our family law lawyers in Newport Beach have garnered many victories.
