Legal Question in Family Law in California
Can my 2-kids\' Dad claim 50% child custody if he doesn\'t have a job and doesn\'t have a place to leave ? We are unmarried and are separating due to his infidelity and asked him to leave the house since he doesn\'t pay the mortgage and title is only on my name. We leave in CA.

Custody is awarded in the best interest of the children. Absent child abuse joint custody is almost always awarded by the court, but that does not mean 50% child custody. The child sharing arrangement is what needs to be determined and there are many factors to consider. I would suggest that you need an attorney. You may call my office for a free consultation. Good Luck, Pat McCrary
