Litigation of child custody rights and visitation (parenting time) is difficult and emotionally trying. Child custody litigation can arise in dissolution of a marriage or domestic partnership or parentage proceedings. In California, courts look at the best interests of the child when making child custody determinations. Children suffer during a custody battle over time spent with each parent and decision making authority (e.g., which school to attend). We make every effort to assure that children do not suffer and that our clients have time with their children. We do not lose sight of our clients and their families' needs and advocate for both.

We represent clients in their child custody proceedings in San Francisco County, San Mateo County, Marin County, Alameda County, and Contra Costa County.
