If you are engaged in a custody battle, refrain from bad-mouthing the co-parent in front of the child, posting negative comments on social media, engaging in heated arguments with the other parent in front of the child, or behaving inappropriately in court. Such behaviors may negatively affect your custody rights.

The two types of custody arrangements are physical custody, determining where the child will live, and legal custody, referring to the decision-making rights of parents regarding their child’s welfare.

This depends on the circumstances. If you and the other parent basically get along and can work out a custody agreement, you are probably fine just doing it on your own. But even so, you'll require a lawyer who can work out these arrangements in legal terms & one that will be accepted in a court of law. However, if there is a custody battle and the other parent has hired a lawyer, don't compromise. You should hire a lawyer and prepare for Court.

California has a six-month mandatory waiting period from the date the respondent is served divorce papers. Even if everything is agreed upon, the divorce can't be finalized before that time ends.

Child support in Orange County follows the statewide guideline formula of California, based on both parents' incomes, custody time, and specific expenses such as health care or childcare. The court uses these factors to determine a fair and consistent amount of child support.
