Child Custody & Visitation
Child custody and visitation laws are intended to keep the best interests of
the child as their foremost concern, whether in regard to results of a DNA
paternity test or to determine physical custody of a child after a divorce.
However, child custody and visitation litigation can still impose great
financial and emotional costs on both parents and children.
The experienced attorneys at Childs Law Group recognize the emotional difficulty
of child custody and visitation cases and can pursue these cases through the
collaborative law process or through traditional litigation.
Collaborative law is less contentious than traditional litigation, including cases
where child custody and visitation rights are determined. In collaborative law,
the clients keep control.
You should not have to accept an agreement that is unacceptable to you. In
collaborative law we employ the assistance of child psychologists and other
professionals who understand child development and child psychology, who can
help to work out a plan concerning custody and visitation.
In traditional divorce litigation, the court decides when, where, and how you
will see your children. In Fresno County, the courts are overworked and
understaffed and, despite their best efforts, it can take two or three months
before your case is even heard. Then the court must make critical decisions
about the custody of children after spending minimal time considering the facts
of each individual case. Furthermore, traditional litigation is expensive for
you and traumatic for your children, who cannot choose whether to be involved.
Child custody matters are highly sensitive and emotional for all involved. We
are dedicated to achieving a positive solution for you.
