There has been much talk lately about Michael Jackson's children and who will ultimately get custody of the two children. This Los Angeles Times article has some good explanations of the process.
The correct answer of "who wins" should be the children. The best interests of the children is the term that controls any discussion of child custody. As UCLA professor Altman correctly states, when one parent dies, generally, the other parent gets custody as the natural parents have constitutionally protected superior rights.
We have received many calls recently about child custody matters and currently are working on several cases. This can be an emotionally charged environment and a good attorney should be able to calmly work with his client through the process, while always keeping the best interests of the child in the forefront of our litigation.
