I highly recommend the firm if you have any family law needs.

Kiana represented me in my divorce and was fantastic. She’s tough when she needs to be, but is also easily approachable and capable of navigating very sensitive issues. There were some complicated issues in my divorce and I was impressed at her knowledge of the law and ability to explain it to me in simple terms. I highly recommend the firm if you have any family law needs.

I guarantee that you will not regret it. He is truly an outstanding lawyer, and his track record and the awards he has attest to his excellence.

I hired Adam Neufer with Moradi Saslaw Firm to help finalize my divorce and resolve the custody issues with my ex, and I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the firm or the care & professionalism I was treated with from Adam. He is an excellent lawyer, who treated my case with attentiveness and provided me with sound counsel, responded to my questions and emails very promptly, and successfully finalized my divorce outside of the court.  I highly recommend Adam to anyone who is going through a divorce or needs legal counsel for a family law issue.

How Does Child Custody Work in California Divorces?

Family courts in California believe that continued close contact with both parents is in a child’s best interests. Courts break down child custody into two parts:

  • Physical custody refers to which parent the child lives with
  • Legal custody refers to decision-making power over important choices such as in education and medical care

Parents may share joint legal and physical custody over their children, or one parent could have sole legal custody while sharing physical custody.

Both parents have a legal obligation to provide financial support to the child, so no matter how child custody is split, both parents have to pay some form of child support.

Is California a 50/50 Custody State?

Child custody in California does not have to be 50/50, but the courts encourage parents to work out a fair schedule that allows both parents an ample amount of time with their children, as well as fair division between child support finances. Joint legal (decision-making) custody is the most common child custody arrangement in Newport Beach and throughout California. The courts begin with the assumption that joint custody is in the child’s best interests, but this is a rebuttable assumption—meaning your Newport Beach child custody attorney can help you make the case that joint custody isn’t in your child’s best interests and the court will consider those arguments. Sole custody, shared custody with one parent given primary custody and the other visitation, supervised visitation, and other options that work for your needs are attainable goals when you have skilled representation on your side.
