Child Custody

Orange County Child Custody Agreement Lawyer Kevin B. Gibbs

People who are going through a divorce encounter a great deal of child custody terminology. Your future relationship with your children will be defined by words such as legal custody, physical custody, joint custody, primary custody, secondary custody, visitation, parenting time, and time share. It’s easy to get hung up on words. However, California family law courts are more interested in the concepts these words define. You should be too.

In most cases, California courts award joint physical custody of children, which simply means that parents will share custody at some level. The issue for most parents, then, is how custody will be shared. Will you become an every-other weekend parent? Is there a reason why your children should have less contact, or supervised contact, with your former spouse?

The question that will always concern any family law judge is, “What is in the best interests of the children?” A nonconsideration is the desire of the parents. Because of this, your attorney needs to represent your interests as the best interests of the child. To do this successfully is an art. It requires a thorough understanding not only of recent California case law, but also how to interpret that law.

As a California certified family law attorney, I have the knowledge and experience to help you craft a custody agreement that preserves your relationships with your children. I can also assist you with future modifications of child custody agreements if circumstances change.

I offer a free initial consultation. I will try to schedule this consultation within forty-eight hours of your call.
