Child Custody & Visitation

Pasadena Child Custody Attorney

"A custody fight is not in the best interest of a child."

A divorce can have lasting effects on a child. For that reason, it is important that the separation process and resulting child custody arrangements be achieved with as little strife and emotional turmoil as possible. This can help both child and parent adjust to the new reality of their lives in a more positive manner than would otherwise be the case.

The Law Offices of Young & Young advises and represents clients in matters involving child custody, visitation, child support, and other matters arising from divorce. Whenever possible, we try to resolve these issues in such a way as to minimize the emotional and psychological stress a child experiences in the divorce process.

We represent clients in matters involving:

• Child custody
• Visitation and parenting plans
• Modifications in custody and visitation orders
• Parental relocations and moveaways
• Paternity as it relates to visitation

Achieving a Fair and Workable Solution

In most cases, California courts favor joint parental decision-making in major areas of the child's life such as education, health care, and religious upbringing. Whenever possible, the court seeks a visitation solution that enables both parents to enjoy a positive relationship with the child. Attorneys for both parents must then work to achieve a solution acceptable to the Court.

At the Law Offices of Young & Young, we have extensive experience in negotiating fair and workable child custody and visitation arrangements. We also utilize mediation to achieve results for clients when appropriate. Both legal techniques can achieve practical solutions while minimizing stress and turmoil. In rare cases, we litigate to protect the rights and interests of our client.

The leader of our family law practice, W. Herbert Young, is a Certified Family Law Specialist—a designation the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization awards to a select group of lawyers.
