Legal custody refers to which parent will make important decisions about a child\u2019s wellbeing, such as choosing his or her residence, health care provider, school and child care provider. Physical custody refers to which parent the child lives with most of the time.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">Tanto la custodia legal como la f\u00edsica pueden ser conjuntas o \u00fanicas. La custodia legal conjunta permite a los padres compartir los derechos y responsabilidades de tomar decisiones importantes sobre sus hijos. La custodia f\u00edsica conjunta significa que los ni\u00f1os viven con ambos padres, aunque a menudo es demasiado dif\u00edcil dividir el tiempo en una divisi\u00f3n exacta del 50\/50, por lo que los ni\u00f1os pueden vivir m\u00e1s con uno de los padres que con el otro. Si un padre tiene a los hijos m\u00e1s de la mitad del tiempo, puede ser considerado el padre de custodia principal. La custodia exclusiva generalmente significa que los ni\u00f1os viven con uno de los padres la mayor parte del tiempo, pero visitan al otro padre. En muchos casos, el tribunal otorgar\u00e1 la custodia legal conjunta, pero no la custodia f\u00edsica conjunta.<\/p><p class=\"font_8\">\u200bCalifornia courts focus on the best interests of the children when determining child custody and visitation. The best interests of the children may require a complex analysis of issues that are very emotional for all family members. Generally, the court tries to maintain the \u201cstatus quo,\u201d or the conditions that existed before the divorce.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Child custody and Visitation in Carlsbad CA \u00a0There are two types of child custody in California: legal custody and physical custody.
