Child Custody
Child custody disputes are some of the most stressful and high-stakes issues in family law. The court’s focus is always the child’s best interests — but the process is often confusing, emotional, and filled with unfamiliar terminology and procedures. I help you cut through that complexity so you can approach your case with clarity and strategic direction.
Whether you are developing a parenting plan, preparing for mediation, responding to the other parent’s requests, or facing a contested hearing, I provide clear, practical guidance tailored to your family’s needs. We will examine your goals, the child’s routine and needs, and the court’s likely focus so you can make informed decisions at each step.
My custody services include:
Parenting plan development and timeshare strategy
Preparation for mediation, including FCS/recommending counselor coaching
Drafting and reviewing declarations and supporting evidence
Analysis of the other parent’s requests and identification of key issues
Strategic guidance based on the child’s school schedule, medical needs, transportation, and stability
Move-away consultations
Emergency custody guidance (timeline dependent)
Evidence review including texts, emails, and police reports
Coaching for self-represented parents
Negotiation and settlement strategy
Representation at hearings, as well as limited-scope drafting or consulting
The goal of every custody consultation is to help you understand what the court will focus on, how to present your position effectively, and how to craft a plan that genuinely meets your child’s needs. Whether you are preparing for mediation, navigating a dispute, or seeking a long-term strategy, I provide the structure and insight you need to move forward with confidence.
Child Support
Child support can be one of the most confusing and emotionally charged parts of a family law case. California’s guideline formula looks simple on paper, but the real work lies in identifying accurate income, understanding how time-share impacts the calculation, and knowing when a court may order something different from guideline.
I help clients cut through that complexity. Whether you’re seeking support, responding to a request, or trying to modify an existing order, I provide clear, practical guidance tailored to your financial situation and goals. Together, we review income, deductions, parenting schedules, and any special factors that may apply so you understand what numbers truly matter.
My services include guideline calculations, document review, preparation of financial disclosures, identifying deviations from guideline, and strategic coaching for hearings. For clients who need more complete assistance, I also prepare motions, draft or review support agreements, negotiate settlements, and provide full representation at hearings and trial.
The goal is simple: to ensure you are fully prepared, informed, and confident—whether you are negotiating informally, representing yourself, or navigating a contested support case in court.
Consulting
I offer consultations on discrete family law issues—including general family law questions as well as child custody and child support matters.
This service is ideal if you need:
clarification of your legal rights
help understanding your options
guidance on how judges typically handle a particular issue
a second opinion on your attorney’s advice
review of a proposed agreement
issue-specific research and analysis
coaching on how to approach a situation
Each consultation follows a simple structure:
initial meeting → targeted research → actionable guidance.
The focus is always on clear explanations, strategic insight, and practical next steps tailored to your situation.
