Child custody is one of the most important issues parents face. For a father, this is an especially crucial time. As written, California State Law doesn’t discriminate against fathers or favor one parent over the other. Still, many men feel the deck is stacked against them.
A parenting plan is the court document that addresses custody matters. These orders lay out where a child lives, how much decision-making power you have, and how much time you spend with your child. They define everything involving custody and visitation rights.
The parenting plan is so important because it sets out how much time you get to spend with your kids and how much influence you have in their upbringing. It’s vital to take steps to protect your rights as a father and your role in your child’s life.

4 Types of Child Custody
Physical
Sole
Legal
Joint
Courts rarely award true sole custody.
In practical terms, a parenting plan often resembles a mixture of these, assembled to best fit your specific situation. This can break down in many ways.
One parent can have physical custody while both share legal responsibility and decision making. If parents live in close proximity, children may split time between homes.
