Domestic Violence, Status Quo & 50/50 Custody: What California Dads Must Know

from Fathers Rights Playbook · host Mark Reel Jr.

In this episode of the Father's Rights Playbook, Mark Real Jr. breaks down the most common question he gets: what are the real chances of getting 50/50 custody in California? He explains how the “best interest of the child” standard works in practice, recent trends toward more equitable timeshares, and why expanding services to Northern California through the new San Jose office matters for dads in places like San Francisco and Oakland. Mark then dives into how domestic violence laws, Family Code Section 3044, and the weaponization of allegations and status quo can derail 50/50 custody, even when claims are flimsy or later proven false. He closes by highlighting shifting gender roles, the long-game reality of family court, and why more dads than ever still have a real shot at substantial time with their kids.   Learn More:   🔗 Visit us: https://reelfathersrights.com/ 📞 Call us: (951) 397-0682 🏢 Find an office near you: https://reelfathersrights.com/locations/   Need Help?
