Child Custody
We develop customized custody solutions considering children's best interests while protecting parental rights. Our attorneys handle legal and physical custody determinations, parenting time schedules, and modification requests. With daily presence in local family courts, we effectively advocate for equitable arrangements through negotiation or litigation when necessary.
Child Support
Our firm calculates support obligations using California's complex formula while considering each family's unique circumstances. We address income disparities, custody time-shares, and special needs requirements. Attorneys advocate for fair payments covering basic needs, medical care, education, and extracurricular activities while ensuring compliance with state guidelines.

We represent both victims seeking protection and those defending against false allegations. Our experienced team handles emergency restraining orders, criminal defense implications, and custody modifications related to domestic violence cases.
