In making a child custody or visitation order, California courts are guided by the best interests of the child standard. The court may award custody to one or both parents, with the goal being to provide the child with the most stable environment possible. Whether you are pursuing sole custody or joint custody with another parent, a child custody agreement can be drafted a variety of ways. Mr. Humphrey will help you find the right arrangement for your family. If you and the other parent cannot come to an agreement, California mandates mediation before a hearing on child custody or visitation. An experienced family law attorney can guide you through this process.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your children, or you will likely be the spouse ordered to pay support, you want a family law attorney that will do everything on your behalf to achieve the best available outcome.
