Child Custody - Orange County California

Child Custody and Visitation

California law requires family law judges to consider the best interests of the child in making any determination regarding custody and visitation. California law also presumes that joint legal custody is in the best interests of the child, with the exception of cases involving domestic violence. Child custody matters can become emotionally charged to the detriment of both the parents and children involved. Because this is so, if you and your spouse have a dispute over the custody of your children, obtain the guidance of an attorney well versed in California child custody matters.

Spousal Support

Spousal Support

Under California law, the court must consider a number of factors in determining whether, what duration, and how much one spouse will be required to pay towards the support of the other spouse. Some factors are objective such as the age, education, and ability of each spouse to be self-supporting. Other factors are less objective such as whether there are convictions for acts of domestic violence by one spouse towards the other, whether either party is cohabiting with a person of the opposite sex, and such other factors specific to the case that the court determines just and equitable.
