Hey guys,
I’m currently residing in California, and I’m curious about how child custody is determined here. Someone who knows how child custody is determined here can explain the factors and considerations the state uses in deciding custody arrangements.
You must describe the year that you actually gave birth to your child. whether you covered any out-of-pocket costs, including dental or medical. You must vehemently disagree with their declaration to the courts, and you must support your position with any correspondence—emails or texts—that you may have sent or received about your child’s custody. After that, you must appear in court with them to obtain a formal custody order. It surprises me that CS isn’t taking care of that already for the kids. However, I’ve heard a BM claim that her ex-husband made $200,000, and the courts said, “Okay, cool.” He did not even make a third of that amount of money. Thus, any emails, letters, or supporting documentation you can offer can strengthen your agreement.
In California, child custody is determined based on the child’s best interests, considering factors like each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s welfare, their relationship with the child, and any history of domestic violence or substance abuse.
