Under California law, there are two aspects to child custody – legal and
physical. Legal custody means the rights and responsibilities of each
parent to make decisions regarding the health, education and welfare of
the child. Physical custody means the amount of time a child will be with
and under the supervision of a parent. Custody can be joint to both parents
or solely to one parent. When parents cannot agree regarding custody, the
court will make a determination of child custody for them. Some custody
orders are modifiable.
