The California Courts clearly state that no preference is given to either parent for a custody award simply due to gender. This is true of both legal and physical custody. Parents who are given legal custody have the power to make decisions on behalf of their children.
Primary Physical Custody (Cal. Fam. Code 3007): A sole physical custody arrangement means the child will reside with and be under the supervision of one parent, subject to the power of the court to order visitation. Thus, your child will live with a custodial parent, which could be you or the other parent.
In California, either parent can have custody of the children, or the parents can share custody. The judge makes the final decision about custody and visitation but usually will approve the arrangement (the parenting plan) that both parents agree on.

As a father, you have the absolute right to seek custody and visitation rights with your children. The law doesnt discriminate between dads and moms instead, each parent has equal rights (and equal responsibilities) when it comes to being with the kids. There are two types of custody: Legal and physical.

Family courts in California do not favor the mother. Dads are not at a disadvantage because of their gender. The law explicitly states that judges shall not prefer a parent as custodian because of that parents sex. Usually judges say, Im starting at 50/50tell me why it shouldnt be that way, and proceed from there.
Recognizing that its crucial for children to develop meaningful relationships and maintain strong bonds with each parent, California courts prefer shared custody whenever possible. Also referred to as 50/50 custody, these types of custodial arrangements allow parents to have an equal amount of parenting time.
The most common type of sole custody ordered by the Court in California is sole physical custody with joint legal custody and a generous visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent.
If there is already a current custody order, then when a mother withholds a child from the father, she is likely violating the court order. There are several remedies available for enforcing or modifying a custody court order under these circumstances.
California law does not show preference to any one parent in a custody case. Custody decisions are to be made based on the childs best interests. That being said, mothers are historically granted custody more often than fathers, since they are often the caretakers of the children more so than the fathers.
