In the past, a person’s religious beliefs (or lack thereof), sexual orientation and lifestyle may have played a role in custody decisions. However, the courts now focus less on a parent’s lifestyle and make custody determinations based on what is in the child’s best interests.
Child custody determinations do have to result from a bruising battle in court. Ultimately, the court must approve any child custody agreement. However, you can negotiate the terms of an agreement with your ex, through your lawyers or with the help of a third-party mediator.
Depending on a child’s age and level of maturity, the court may factor his or wishes into its custody decision. However, this does not mean that the child has the final word on where he or she is going to live.
We are available to help guide you through the custody process, one step at a time. To schedule an initial consultation with our family law attorney, call us at 951-787-8700. You may also contact us online.
