Carlsbad Child Custody Attorney

If you have children, it’s likely very important to you that you get to care for them and make decisions on their behalf. 

Unfortunately, if you are not raising your child with the child’s other parent, you are not guaranteed to have the time or authority that you desire. Your access to your child and your ability to make important life decisions for them will depend on the custody plan that’s in place.

Whether you negotiate a parenting plan on your own or litigate the issue in court, a Carlsbad child custody attorney at our family law firm can help you maximize the chances of a plan that serves you and your children well.

• Advising you about your legal rights– We can help you understand the factors used to establish custody, such as your past relationship with the child, the child’s ability to form a community with extended family, your ability to co-parent successfully, and the child’s preferences if your kids are older and can make their wishes known.
• Helping you understand different kinds of custody arrangements– We’ll work with you to learn the difference between physical and legal custody and to explore different custody arrangements such as joint custody, primary custody, and sole custody. 
• Advocating for you as your dispute is resolved– We can make compelling arguments on your behalf in litigation, mediation, arbitration, or negotiation to help you convince the court or your ex that your preferred outcome is best.
