Losing Custody of Your Kids in California
Both parents have the equal right to participate in their children's’ lives, and California tends to prefer when both parents share joint legal and physical custody of their children. However, a court will not hesitate to revoke or minimize a parent’s custodial rights if doing so would be in the best interest of the child. A mother or father can lose custody of a child for a variety of reasons. Some of these are obvious, and others may be more surprising.
If your child commits a crime in California you may be concerned about his or her future. A conviction for a criminal offense can have significant consequences, including difficulty finding employment, housing, or even getting into a good school. California recognizes that growing up and maturing is something that may require leniency and understanding and, as a result, has created a criminal justice system specifically for minors.

Normally, these two phrases do not go together. But according to one study, over 200,000 children a year are rushed to hospital emergency rooms after serious playground injuries. Monkey bars and other climbing equipment are responsible for the most playground equipment fall incidents, which altogether account for over 90 percent of such injuries. Strangulation is the second leading cause of playground injury.
Family Law
At least one professional believes that Angelina Jolie may be trying to sever the emotional bonds between her estranged husband, Brad Pitt, and the couple’s adopted children.
Because many divorce cases are actually two cases in one, since the first determines child custody and the second determines property division, there are two standards of proof in these cases as well.
In civil cases, including family law, there is a time for parties to negotiate between themselves and a time when the judge must intervene. Modification actions, be they for child support, visitation, or spousal support, require both. Even if the parents are divorced or are never married, a family is a family, and judges expect families to work out problems on their own without always resorting to court action.
If you and your spouse have had children during your marriage, and you are now contemplating getting a divorce, one of the most heated issues that you will have to deal with is child custody. Child custody has to do with which one of a child’s parents will get primary custody, and which parent will get rights to visit the child, called visitation rights. Like with many other aspects of the divorce process, child custody is determined by the court if the separating spouses are unable to come up with a solution on their own.
