What is custody?
There are two components to custody. One is legal custody, and one is physical custody. Generally, unless the parents are so dysfunctional as to be unable to address their children’s needs together, California courts will follow state policy and award joint legal custody. With regard to physical custody, there are myriad factors to be addressed, including the level of involvement of each parent, the ages of the children, the awareness of the parents to their children’s needs, and whether or not there has been a history of abuse or violence.
Where it is possible, we encourage our clients to make decisions regarding custody and parenting with each other, without resort to litigation. We encourage our clients to use family court services which are provided at no charge to the parties.
Where, however, the parties are unable to agree and where family court services have been unsuccessful, we will provide our clients with guidance in determining whether or not to seek a custody arrangement which is perhaps unacceptable to the other spouse. This includes reference to the possible use of expert evaluators who can assist in providing information both to the client and the court in addressing these issues.
Visitation
The word “visitation” is used in the context of time spent by children with a parent who does not have primary custody. We assist our clients in addressing the needs of the children, as well as the parties of interest, in arranging for visitation which is in the best interests of the children.
Modifications
Although orders for custody and visitation may be entered by the court, children, as well as their parents change, giving rise to the need for modification. As Los Angeles child custody attorneys we at Rombro & Associates assist our clients in addressing these concerns and seeking change through modification where appropriate.
