Lakewood family law questions we hear a lot

What is the difference between legal separation and divorce?

A divorce ends the marriage; a legal separation divides property, support, and custody but leaves the marriage legally intact, which some couples choose for religious or insurance reasons (Fam. Code sections 2310, 2345). A legal separation requires both spouses to agree.

How does a court decide custody?

California courts decide custody based on the best interest of the child, weighing health, safety, welfare, and each parent's ability to care for the child (Fam. Code sections 3011, 3020). There is no automatic preference for either parent.
