A California Child Custody Dispute Lawyer Attentive to Your Needs and Concerns

We will carefully listen to you explain your situation and then lay out legal options that may best fit your objectives. We will explain the jurisdictional issues and other legal components that will be pivotal to resolving your matter. Since many interstate and international family law matters involve children, we always negotiate with all parties on your behalf while keeping in mind what is in the best interest of the child. This is the standard most courts use, and this is a position we believe strongly in. We will not allow children to be used as pawns and our goal is to protect them and their relationships with family members when legal issues arise that involve them.

Our International Family Law Practice

This same belief extends to our international family law practice that involves a divorce or other dispute such as a child custody matter where one party is located in another country. We are equally familiar with international law that speaks to family law issues, such as issues governed by The Hague Convention and legislation such as the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), the Parental Kidnapping Prevention Act (PKPA) and the International Child Abduction Remedies Act (ICARA).
