In the past, a mother would traditionally receive full child custody after divorce, but changes to family law in recent years have shifted the trend to joint custody wherever possible. California recognizes the importance of allowing both parents to play a major role in their children's upbringing, and the judge is likely to rule in favor of joint custody. Even so, there is no guarantee that you will be awarded custody, especially if your former spouse opposes the arrangement. You may have to fight for custody of your children, and require the representation of an aggressive divorce attorney who understands the importance of a fair child custody arrangement.
If you face divorce, call our Palm Desert office at 760-340-4545 to protect your custodial rights.
Securing A Custody Solution That Benefits Your Family
Custody battles can easily become messy and drawn out, but it is vital to resolve the issue swiftly and effectively. It can be emotionally damaging for children to be drawn into a custody dispute, and your attorney will work with you to determine a solution that benefits the entire family. If your ex-spouse makes allegations that you are an unfit parent due to alcohol, drug use or accuses you of child abuse, the Law Office of James A. Jackson is prepared to fight on your behalf. Even if the divorce settlement only left you with visitation rights, you can still seek a child custody modification.
