Legal Question in Family Law in California

Most of the answers to your questions require analysis of your complete financial picture and the facts of the marriage. Spousal support and education payments during marriage are complicated and fact-specific determinations. Full sole legal and physical custody have nothing to do with gender these days, but it is never granted to either parent absent something abou the other parent making them unfit parents, and even then there is usually some form of joint physical custody with visitation unless the other parent is a total danger to the children or incarcerated. Child support is calculated on custodial time, relative income and a bunch of other income factors, such as tax rates, etc. There is no way to predict who would owe whom and how much without first establishing percentage of time each parent will have custody, and then running the support calculation software on those numbers and the financial numbers. As for the passports, etc., there are standard form child abduction orders, including surrender of the children's passports to the court, that can be issued at the outset of a case. You should have those included in a motion to establish temporary custody and support.
