Legal Question in Family Law in California

The facts in your question are unclear. The term shared custody is ambiguous. Joint legal and physical custody refers to the rights of the parents to review the child's medical, school records and other such acts. Joint physical means that when the child in with a parent that parent has custody of the child. The amount of time the court ordered that the child is with father is probably the most important question.

You can appeal the decision of the court, by filing a notice of appeal, and paying the required court fees, within 60 days after the order was made. Appeals normally take years to wend their way through the appellate courts. To win an appeal would probably require that the appellate court is convinced that no reasonable judge would make that order. That is the court abused its discretion. Appeals are seldom successful. You should consult with your attorney or an appellate attorney as soon as possible.
