Child Custody and Visitation Issues

Are you a parent who is going through a divorce or separation? The stress of a divorce can become even more overwhelming when children are involved. As a parent, you are probably concerned about your children's future, well-being, and care. My family law firm strives to find practical and reasonable solutions to your problems, and to ensure that the decisions made are in the best interests of the children.

Child Custody: Physical and Legal Definitions

Physical custody refers to the primary care and timeshare agreements involved in raising your children. Legal custody refers to the ability to help make decisions about your child's upbringing, including their education, health care, and religion.

Custody and visitation mediation is mandatory in Alameda County. If you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement on an issue, a mediator can help by making recommendations. It is important to have your voice heard during this process. I will help make sure that you are properly prepared for this stage of the proceedings.
