#FAQFriday: If we have joint physical custody, do our children have to spend exactly half the time with each of the parents? No. If there is joint physical custody, usually the children spend a little more time with 1 parent than the other because it is too hard to split the time exactly in half. When 1 parent has the child more than half of the time, then that parent is sometimes called the primary custodial parent.

In California, dividing marital property is based on the concept of "community property." What does this mean for a divorce? Find out here:

If the custodial parent is considering moving with their child, the move must not interfere with the child’s best interests. Additionally, the parent needs to provide a written notice to the co-parent, who must receive this notice at least 45 days before the move. During this time, the non-custodial parent can object to the move and ask for a modification of the child custody order.
