Domestic violence and child custody
If there's a history of domestic violence in a family, judges use special laws to help protect children when making decisions about child custody.

Domestic violence can be emotional, financial, or physical
Under the law, domestic violence can be emotional, financial, or physical. It can happen anywhere, including online. Abuse can happen in different ways, including someone stopping you from getting money or basic needs, or isolating you from friends or family. 
Child custody 
There are two types of child custody
Physical custody: The person that the child lives with on a regular basis.
Legal custody: The right for a person to make important decisions about the child’s health care, education, and welfare.
For both types of custody, parents can share custody (joint custody) or one parent can have full custody (sole custody). A judge grants custody based on what's in the best interest of a child.

4. If there are other people entitled to inherit the property, they MUST also sign the affidavit.
This shows you all agree that the property listed on your affidavit can be transferred to you.
5. To have the property transferred to you, give the affidavit to the person, company, or bank that has the property now.

NOTE: Make sure the case is not already in probate court. If it is, you cannot use the affidavit process unless the personal representative of the estate agrees in writing to let you do so.

If You Were Married to or Were a Registered Domestic Partner of the Person Who Died

You may be able to use a simple form, called a Spousal or Domestic Partner Property Petition (form DE-221) to get a court order that says:

What your share of the community property is; and
What part of your deceased spouse or partner’s share of community and separate property belongs to you.

If the surviving spouse/partner is legally entitled to all of the property, a more complicated probate procedure may not be required. For example, a couple that was married for decades may only own “community property,” which belongs to the surviving spouse/partner and is confirmed by the court in the spousal property petition case.

 Legal custody determines which parent will make

 legal custody, or both parents may retain the right to make these decisions, known 
 as joint legal custody. Joint legal custody means both parents should

Options other than a guardianship
A guardianship is not always needed. There are simpler, less formal options that will give you the legal ability to care for someone else’s child. You might also be able to care for some of a child's needs if you can't get a hold of the parents. You don't have to go to court for these options. But they're not right for every situation. Read them carefully.

Other legal options
Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit: You sign a form to get the authority to enroll the child in school and get medical care
If the child lives with you in California, you can sign a Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit. Parents do not need to sign the form, but they can cancel it at any time. 
This form lets you enroll the child in school and consent to medical care related to school.
The Superior Court of California - County of Ventura - Family Law
The fee for filing the Request for Order is listed on the courtâs fee schedule. If the request is asking the court to modify or enforce custody or visitation, an additional fee of $25 will be charged as set forth in Government Code Section 70678.
Once filed, the Request for Order must be served on the other party. You cannot serve the papers. You must have someone else 
 who is at least 18 years old serve the papers on the other party. For more information about service, please read the Information 
 Sheet for Request for Order (FL-300-INFO). The other 
 party must be served at least 16 court days before the hearing if they are served by personal service or 16 court days plus 5 calendar 
 days before the hearing if they are served by mail. Have the person who does the service complete a proof of service form and file 
 it with the court at least 5 court days before the hearing. 
Your Request for Order, along with any temporary emergency (ex parte) orders will expire on the date of the scheduled hearing 
 if you do not have the other party served by the deadline for service unless you ask the court to continue your hearing to another 
 date, and extend any temporary emergency (ex parte) orders, so that you can have the other party served. To ask the court for a new 
 hearing date, you must complete the mandatory Judicial Council forms Request to Continue Hearing (FL-306) and Order on Request to 
 Continue Hearing (FL-307). 
Pursuant to California Rule of Court 5.94(f), the request for continuance can be made prior to the hearing date originally set on the 
 Request for Order, or you can wait until the date of the hearing and appear in court to ask the court for a continuance. If you wait 
 until the date of the hearing to ask the court to continue the hearing, you must complete and file an Order on Request to Continue 
 Hearing (FL-307) if the court grants your request. 
A request submitted prior to the hearing date originally set on the Request for Order must be submitted to the judge the case is assigned 
 to.

 Ask a judge to cancel the VDOP

 If you can't use the DCSS Rescission Form, you can file a form with the court asking the judge to cancel the VDOP. You will get a court date where you and the other parent will both get a chance to speak and the judge will decide whether to cancel the VDOP. You can also ask for genetic testing, if needed. 
In general, a judge can only cancel a VDOP if it's been less than 2 years since it was filed and there's a legal reason to cancel the VDOP. For example, if you can show that you only signed the VDOP due to fraud.

The 2024-25 Budget: Child Support
As noted above, the March 2023 guidance from DSS does not address how the state intends to handle child support debt for foster care cases that accrued prior to January 1, 2023. (However, as noted above, DCSS has directed LCSAs to begin the process of determining whether these arrears are uncollectible.) The Legislature may wish to provide input around this issue, and/or inquire with the administration as to the anticipated time line for providing any further guidance.
Funding for LCSAs
Background
LCSA Administrative Funding Methodology Created in 2019-20. The 2019-20 budget included a new methodology to determine the appropriate annual funding amount for each LCSA. The underlying approach of the methodology is to estimate the amount of funding each LCSA needs to achieve staffing levels in line with the target caseload ratio considering local staffing costs. The current target ratio is 185.4 cases per full-time equivalent position statewide. In setting the target staffing level, the administration averaged enforcement, management, and support staff levels in place as of 2018. The target also was informed by a 2018 workload study conducted in 15 LCSAs. Those LCSAs with funding below these target levels are considered “underfunded,” while those with funding above these target levels are considered “overfunded.” Roughly 30 LCSAs have been determined to be underfunded according to the methodology.
Implementation Updates
DCSS Annually Tracks Underfunded LCSAs According to Methodology. Since 2019-20, DCSS has updated its LCSA funding estimates every year to reflect the most recent caseload levels and LCSA salary and benefit costs (which are negotiated and established by counties). As a result of the methodology, estimated LCSA funding needs increase (or decrease) when caseload or LCSA salary and benefit levels increase (or decrease). So far, estimated LCSA funding needs have increased each year.
Cumulative $51.4 General Fund Augmentations Provided to LCSAs Since 2019-20.
