During divorce, the issues of child visitation and child custody are often the most emotionally- charged. Each parent may be concerned about maintaining a parental relationship with the child while also worrying about the level of care provided by the other parent. In California, the law requires outcomes in custody and visitation matters which reflect the children’s best interests. Family Law Attorney Juliene Lee Ash has extensive experience in these matters, and she can help you understand your rights and legal options. Ms. Ash truly has a passion for helping children. She knows the challenges facing you and your family because she has been in your situation. As a child, she witnessed her parents’ divorce. As an adult, she endured her own. In custody matters, it is often more beneficial for parents to agree on a workable parenting plan with their partner than risking the unpredictability of court. It is highly unlikely that a judge would know your family better than you, the parents. You and your partner or spouse could take your time fine- tuning your parenting plan instead of allowing a judge to decide your children’s fate based on limited resources and time. Since the parties know their own children the best, they have the ability to arrive at a parenting plan that is best for their children. Utilizing the court system can often be intimidating, unpredictable, and expensive. It often affects the children. Ms. Ash provides skilled representation to help a parent, grandparent, or stepparent establish the legal right to provide care and make decisions for a child.

Child Custody Lawyer | Specializing in Child Custody Matters Custody in California is generally recognized as either legal or physical. Legal custody involves the welfare of the child regarding religion, education, health, activities, and other important matters. Physical custody considers the actual physical location in which the child will be spending time. Depending on the circumstances, a parent may be granted sole or joint legal custody of the child, with either one or both managing the child’s welfare. In addition, the parents may be granted joint physical custody with each having a percentage of timesharing. When sole physical custody is granted, one parent is responsible for the child’s living arrangements. Visitation with the non-custodial parent is made through a parenting plan. Because the family law court requires the outcome to reflect the child’s best interests, Child Custody Attorney Juliene Lee Ash works closely with each client to learn the family dynamics, address areas of potential conflict, and work toward a custody arrangement that favors the child’s best interests while also meeting the needs of the family.
