New Title Helps Lawyers Avoid Custody Litigation Minefields
OAKLAND, CALIF.—With the complexities that exist concerning child custody law and the increasing wave of custody litigation by nonparents, it is crucial that family law and civil litigation attorneys avoid any missteps in their practice.

California Child Custody Litigation and Practice, a brand new title from Continuing Education of the Bar (CEB), provides succinct yet thorough coverage of concepts in child custody and visitation litigation and offers an understanding of how the important elements fit together to enable an attorney to handle a custody matter to the fullest. The authors include many well-respected family law litigators who are Certified Family Law Specialists.

Chapter on handling parental relocation ("move away") cases
Chapter on visitation by grandparents, stepparents, and other third parties

Nonbiological parents can be awarded custody.
Nonbiological parents have been awarded custody by the courts in cases of child abandonment or chronic child abuse. Judges can award custody to anyone with an interest in the child, such as stepparents, godparents, aunts, uncles, and surrogates, who can introduce evidence as to why they would be the better custodians than the natural parent(s).
