A long track record of aligning clients' goals to our strategies, and a hundreds of satisfied family law clients. We can provide experienced legal help with a broad range of child custody- and visitation-related goals, including:

• Joint custody. California courts believe that joint custody, and contact with both parents, is in children's best interests. We can work with you to optimize your custody rights through joint custody.
• Sole custody. Though courts avoid sole custody arrangements when possible, they are allowed under certain circumstances, including child abandonment and situations involving criminal acts, physical abuse, drug abuse and alcohol abuse. We have helped numerous parents obtain sole custody when sole custody best serves the children's interests.
• Visitation. When one parent is awarded sole custody, the court must award reasonable visitation to the other parent unless the court determines that visitation would be detrimental to the child's best interests. We can assemble and present a strong case supporting your visitation rights.
• Out-of-state custody and The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. Out-of-state custody disputes can involve jurisdictional challenges. If you or your child has moved to or from California recently, we can answer your questions regarding your right to pursue custody and visitation in this state.
• Move away custody. We can support or fight against parents' plans to legally remove children from California and to reside elsewhere. Most court orders require a party obtain either written permission of the other party to move, or permission from the court. If you are faced with a move-away request, we can provide you with the legal standards the courts will utilize and assist with applying them to your circumstances.
