Pleasanton, California, Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer
When you are facing the sensitive and important matter of determining a child custody or visitation arrangement, you need a family law attorney you can trust. Since 1987, I have been successfully representing the personal interests of parents by developing amicable parenting plans through negotiation and mediation, saving clients and their children the emotional trauma of going to court whenever possible.
For a lawyer who cares, contact me today at the Pleasanton, California, law office of John T. Chamberlin, Attorney at Law.
I am a parent. I understand what goes into raising a child and I understand that life is constantly changing. It is not always possible to find a static solution that fits the life of a growing, changing child. If you are a parent facing a divorce, by resolving child visitation and custody issues through the mediation process, you will be able to make a plan that is flexible and appropriate for your family.
California law determines child custody according to the best interests of the children. This coincides with the presumption that joint custody of some kind is best for children. In order to make a determination, the court must look at the individual circumstances of the child, considering how parenting issues were handled before the divorce, as well as whether a parent can physically and logistically carry out the parenting duties.
I work closely with each client to develop a parenting plan that takes these considerations into account. Throughout the mediation process, I advocate for the rights and interests of my clients and their children in a respectful, professional setting to determine an arrangement that is right for the children.
When circumstances that influenced an original child custody or visitation order have changed, I represent clients in cases involving modifications to the arrangement.
California child custody laws are regularly updated. I have been handling these sensitive issues for 20 years, and am committed to continuing education in order to effectively represent my clients' needs and answer their concerns. Trust my experience and dedication to my clients. Contact me today to discuss your individual child custody goals and concerns.
