Legal Question in Family Law in California

The answer provided to this question is general in nature and cannot replace the advice given by a qualified attorney during a confidential office meeting designed to fully explore your legal options.

Unless there is an order from a court identifying the custodial parent, both parents have a legitimate legal right to have the child in their care. If a parent is threatening to take the child without the other parents permission or consent, it is important to seek court orders and appropriate legal protections from the court.

To ensure you get the pleadings and legal issues properly outlined and submitted to the court, it is best to retain the services of an attorney skilled in child custody and family law legal matters.
