What are the chances a judge would give parents 50-50 custody in California?

Answer 1

Very good. The courts like to see joint custody because it is the parents that are divorcing, not the children. However, if one parent lives too far from the other, the court will take into consideration school, vactions, breaks, etc. You can't expect a child to live with one parent 50% of the time and go to one school while with mom and another while with dad.

Answer 2

If both parents are 'fit', have enough time for the child/ren, have a decent place for the child/ren to live, etc., I'd say there's a very good chance.

Now if one parent works all sorts of overtime (or is working in the field, doing a lot of travelling) and is hardly home, has a felony on his/her record, cannot provide a decent environment for the child/ren, etc., chances are that parent would just get supervised visitation rights--at best, unsupervised visitation rights.

Answer 3

not very high they normally favour the mother for some reason, i think its due to the section 1a under the parental act saying the mother is more maternal, it depends if you are above 16 it will g 50-50 otherwise it is in favour of your mother.
