In California, the prevailing custom is to award a joint legal custody to the parents, sole physical custody to one and visitation to the other. Child support is usually paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent. Wonder if he makes his child support payments religiously?

Is that in all cases--marital and paternity?

But if mom says she has sole legal custody, it puts a whole new spin on things, doesn't it?

In California, the prevailing custom

1) Didn't the child only recently move to California?

2) If parents weren't married and don't cohabitate, the arrangement would be a little different as well.
