If a Californian is in the military and accused of committing a crime, they will often go through a court-martial, or a criminal trial for military personnel. A court-martial will try service members accused of civilian crimes, such as larceny or manslaughter, as well as military-specific crimes, such as desertion or insubordination. Military criminal defense attorneys can assist the accused throughout the court process.

If the offense is minor, a quicker summary courts-martial will be held. This type of court-martial involves one commissioned officer to issue a decision, instead of a military judge from the Judge Advocate General office. If found guilty, a service member may face confinement for 30 days, hard labor for 45 days, loss of pay for one month or loss in ranking.

When a couple with children gets divorced, the court will generally award custody to one or both parents via court order. Assuming that both parents are stable and equipped to do so, the court will do whatever it can to ensure that both parents are involved in the child's life. But what happens when a custodial parent wants to relocate and take the children with them? The answer depends on the circumstances surrounding the move.

Generally, California parents with primary physical custody of your child via permanent court order have the right to move away if they choose to do so. However, if the other parent doesn't want them to move, they will have to prove to the court that the move would harm the children. Parents who are sharing physical custody of their child with the child's other parent will need to show the court that the move is in the best interest of the child.

And unless you have a designated driver to get you home, they almost certainly put your driving and criminal records at risk.

If you are getting a divorce, you already know how difficult the process can be. However, for divorcing couples with children, there can be even more challenges. For instance, divorcing parents will often have to decide where the child will live and determine who will make the decisions relating to the child's upbringing. Divorce courts are solely focused on making child custody decisions in the best interest of the child.

Generally, divorcing parents have to determine who will have physical custody of the child and who will have legal custody. Physical custody refers to where the child will physically live. In many cases, the child will primarily live with one parent, who has sole custody, while the other parent will be granted parenting time, formerly referred to as visitation. However, if both parents can work together, joint physical custody is also an option. In such cases, the child will split his or her time equally between each parent.
