Legal Question in Family Law in California

Re: unfair law

The California law is gender nuetral and does not favor either parent. Statistics may show that fathers have the children 25% of the time, but that might factor in many fathers who never see their kids. Don't follow the statistics, I don't think that accurate statistics are capable of being calculated on that issue. Pat McCrary

Dear Inquirer:

Nothing herein shall create an attorney-client relationship, unless a written retainer agreement is executed by the attorney and client. This communication contains general information only. Nothing herein shall constitute an attorney-client communication nor legal advice. There likely are deadlines and time-limits associated with your case; you should contact an attorney of your choice for legal advice specific to your personal situation, at once.

If you haven't already done so, please visit my

The site contains quite a bit of general information about California Family Law, Tenants' Rights, and Juvenile Dependencies, and EDD hearings and appeals, as well as information about me (education, experience, et cetera) and my office (location, hours, fees, policies).

NOW, IN RESPONSE TO YOUR INQUIRY --

California favors joint LEGAL custody (decision-making) and shared PHYSICAL custody (time with the child(ren)). The percentage is based upon the individual circumstances of the parties and what's in the best interest of the child(ren).
