California Court of Appeal

In a case in which the trial court found father committed an act of domestic violence against mother, and therefore awarded mother sole legal and physical custody of the couple's two children because father presented no evidence showing an award of custody to him was in the children's best interest, pursuant to Family Code section 3044, the court's order awarding 50/50 visitation rights to father is vacated where the court abused its discretion in awarding father equal time with the children without requiring him to establish the arrangement was in the children's best interest
