Child Custody
Like most states, the standard for child custody determinations in California is the overall best interest of the child with an emphasis on assuring the “health, safety, and welfare” of the child and “frequent and continuing contact” with both parents absent child abuse, domestic violence, or where the contact would not be in the best interest of the child as provided in the California family code section 3011 (See California Family Code Section 3011, 3020, 3040, 3080. Further, according to California family code section 3040, child custody should be granted in an order of preference and according to the best interest of the child.
Child Support
Child support is one of the most contentious issues in family law, and California child support issues are no exception. When dealing with California child support, it is best if you have a good California child support attorney to help you. But there are also some things which you can and need to know right up front about child support in California, and the California child support laws. While many people don't realize it, most state child support laws are fairly fixed, and don't take into account such things as what your or your ex's actual child-related expenses are.
Personal Injury
When you or someone you love has been injured you feel like your life has been flipped upside down. You confront serious and complex medical, legal, job, money, and family issues. At the same time, and often for the first time in your life.
