When a divorce is pending, it is always a very heart breaking situation. Two lives that were joined together in holy matrimony are suddenly ripped apart. Assets are divided, debts are allocated, houses and cars are sold, and various other aspects of ownership are settled. Yet one issue that is quite possibly the hardest to adjudicate is that of who will get the children. Child custody in California is a serious business that is not taken lightly.

Divorce can be an extremely difficult time for both parents and children involved. Battles in child custody can be a trying time and result in a lot of emotional stress. However, custodial battles are essential in determining the welfare of the child. To ensure the safety of the child, custodial battles are divided into two options. These options are joint custody and sole custody. The determining of which option is appropriate must be settled in a court room where the court can decide which parent is more qualified and responsible enough to properly support the child.
