Re: child custody
There is no such thing as common law marriage in california. However if you are seeking to adopt a foster child then you should seek the help of an adoption attorney to provide some consultation on the proper legal channels to go through.
As always please consult an san jose family lawyer attorney prior to taking any legal action. Good luck.
