Minor Living With Grandparents

Summary

In California, a minor can live with grandparents if parents consent or a court decides based on the childs best interest. Factors include the childs preference (especially if over 14), stability, and history of abuse or neglect. Informing the court about someone working under the table may impact credibility but not directly affect custody decisions. Seek legal advice for personalized guidance.

In California, a court will prioritize a child's best interest. Factors include:
- Stability of the living situation
- History of abuse or neglect
- Child's preference (age *+)
Your daughter's proofs and the boyfriend's work situation could influence the court's decision. Seek legal advice.
What will happen if i tell the court he is working under the table?
In California, informing the court about someone working under the table may impact their credibility, but it doesn't directly affect child custody decisions. The court's primary concern is the child's best interests. Legal counsel could provide more specific advice.
Oh ok
