Many times divorced spouses have a year-round custody plan but fail to consider where children will spend holidays and extended breaks from school like Spring Break or Summer.

As a result, parents can end up in fights, arguments, last-minute calls to the attorney’s office, and possibly trips to court. Therefore, it’s worth having a plan for these breaks prior to signing on the dotted line.

When California Family Code Section 3042 went into effect, more emphasis was placed on the child’s preference in custody.

This measure allows children who are deemed sufficient age and capacity to give weighted testimony on their wishes regarding parental custody.

In the past, alimony was designed to help wives support themselves without their husbands. Historically, women had limited occupational opportunities outside the household necessitating continued financial support from ex-spouses. In modern times, both women and men have ample professional opportunities which complicates the argument for spousal support.

Though there are few ways to terminate alimony arrangements, if a recipient gets remarried the payments will cease.

Sometimes victims of domestic violence are afraid to leave their homes because they have children with their abuser. They fear if they leave the abuser will take it out on the children or try to gain custody of the children.

In cases like this, a judge can order a temporary child custody order in the initial restraining order. This protection allows victims to have the assurance that their children are safe during the proceedings.

Typically, when we think of child support, we think about young children. While young children are typically the reason for child support, there are important exceptions to this scenario. A child with a physical and/or mental disability that precludes him or her from achieving independence in adulthood can be cause for continued child support in California.

In some cases, child support may extend beyond childhood for children who have disabilities that prevent them from supporting themselves. In these cases, it’s important for the parent to understand the law and the possible ramifications.

Consulting with an experienced family lawyer who understands California law on the matter is smart because there is no set termination date for this type of support.
