When Can You Get Your Child After a Custody Ruling

Following a court ruling in a custody case that gives you custody, in California, when can you get your child?

Unless the order provides otherwise, you can normally get your child immediately after the order is entered by the court. If you're not sure what the order provides, or if there is confusion with the other parent about a parenting time or visitation issue, it makes sense to have the order reviewed by a lawyer.
