Child Custody & Visitation in California
Family law in California, especially in the realms of child custody and visitation, is meticulously crafted to shield and uphold the paramount interests of children. The primary concern of the court is to ensure that the health, safety, and welfare of the children is at the forefront of every decision. Each case begins with the steadfast assumption that children not only benefit but thrive from frequent and enduring contact with both parents, solidifying a bond that is pivotal for their growth.
When parents that are separating cannot agree on how to divide responsibilities, the court decides for them. Ideally separating couples are able to reach an agreement among themselves before turning the decision over to the judge. A good family law attorney helps you reach a settlement that fits your needs and schedule without going to court. In the event that the other side is unreasonable or uncooperative, your attorney protects your parental rights in court.

Meet The Partners
Kristen and Sam envisioned a team that offers sophisticated legal analysis, combined with a unique, individual, and personal approach based on the belief that everyone involved in a divorce or custody case should be treated with respect and compassion.
Each case, each party, each child, and each opposing party is unique and requires its own individual approach, strategy, and action plan. Neither Attorneys nor cases, are “one size fits all”, and that is important to remember when making decisions that affect your future, your children, and your livelihood. Additionally, an attorney should always tell you what you need to hear rather than what you want to hear. That is what separates the Custody Queens from other attorneys.
At the end of the day, this is your case and your life. The attorney you choose should provide you with the tools, education, and representation necessary to achieve your goals. Our clients learn how to achieve the most beneficial outcomes for their children, and set themselves up for success as parents for years to come.
