Thousand Oaks Child Custody Lawyer

In California, as in other states, child custody and visitation order rules establish a system where these issues are decided in favor of the best interests of the child. In most cases, absent any compelling reasons to the contrary, child custody will be a form of joint custody.

At the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Graff, I represent clients in all types of custody and visitation matters, including:

• Establishment of child custody and visitation rights
• Modifications of visitation orders
• Child custody modifications
• Move aways
• Grandparent visitation rights and third-party visitation rights
• Visitation rights for unwed fathers
• California child custody evaluation
• Domestic violence
• And others

Child custody and visitation rights are established in temporary orders and in the final settlement and decree, but these are not necessarily permanent. In some cases in California, the court or the parties may request a California child custody evaluation. A move away, a change in the lifestyle or behavior of a parent, domestic abuse by a parent or partner of a parent, or a routine change in the job schedule of a parent can call for changing a custody arrangement or modifying a visitation order.

Child custody matters can be highly contentious. In some cases, the tension and stress caused by dispute can cause real emotional harm to the parties and particularly to the child. In these and other child custody matters, the Law Offices of Jeffrey S. Graff always works to protect the rights and interests of clients while providing advice that serves the best interests of the child.
