Child custody is one of the most challenging issues in San Diego divorce attorney cases, and for a good reason. Child custody generally refers to the practical and legal relationship between a child and a parent. It has to do with a parent's right to care for, raise, and make important decisions about their education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. When parents get divorced, they will have to agree to an arrangement for their children's legal and physical custody, or if they can't accept, let the court decide.
