In California's child custody laws it is stated, that the California courts use child development specialists to try and assist parents in developing their simple parenting plans.

In some California counties, the specialists, or mediators, will recommend to the court an outline of a skelton or draft, of time sharing arrangement for those parents who can not come to a mutual agreement on the terms. Usually less than two hours is allotted per family to work out these plans in "mediation". With limits like these you need the attorney's of Donel and Associates by your side.

In cases where the parents are on bad terms, it is in the best interests of the children involved to have one home as a primary residence. The parent with whom the child or children will be living with, is granted physical custody, or otherwise known as "primary" physical custody in a "joint physical custody" agreement. It should be noted joint custody does not mean an equal time split. What it does mean is the parents share their time with the children to the best of their ability.
