Child Custody

In California, custody comes in two different forms: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody involve decision making in a child’s life including academic and health care issues, among others. Physical custody describes the legal determination of where the child shall reside, who the child resides with, and other visitation rights of the parents. Child custody arrangements have wide-ranging implications and ramifications. Therefore, it is imperative that your counsel aggressively seek your best interests and protest your rights.

Mediation is mandatory in California in any case where the child custody or visitation rights are disputed, with the goal of protecting the children. We prepare our clients for this mediation process to best represent their interests.
