California law grants equal rights to both moms and dads in custody cases. The court is not allowed to favor one parent over the other based on the parent’s sex. As a matter of public policy, California law seeks to ensure that children have frequent and continuing contact with both parents as well as make a custody and visitation order that is consistent with the child’s best interest.
