Amajor concern of parents who are undergoing a divorce is the question of custody of their children. At Eric M Nakasu, we understand how grave such issues can be. It's our goal to get you the best custody arrangement for you and your family.

We understand that no one knows your family better than you do. Our child custody attorney Tustin can help you negotiate a child custody agreement with your spouse. However, if that doesn't work, we take the fight to court and establish that the children's best interests align with the custody arrangement you seek as a parent.

How Does the Court Determine Who Gets Custody?

Upon any failure of the parents to agree on a custody arrangement, the courts will take over and determine what's best for the children. Generally speaking, the family court judge will mostly allow joint custody of the child, as it lies in the child's best interests and helps them share time with each parent.

However, the judge may grant sole custody if it thinks that one parent is unfit to share custody. Factors that the judge will consider are a parent's living situation, past history of alcohol, drug abuse, or neglect, or the parent's inability to take care of the child.

All these and many more considerations add up for a custody arrangement. Ultimately, everything is done in the child's best interests.
