Irvine Child Custody Lawyers

Experienced Child Custody Lawyers in Orange County, California

If you are a parent who is divorcing from your spouse or separating from your partner, it is important to handle your child custody and visitation issues with care. The decisions you make today can impact the time you get to spend with your child and the quality of your parent/child relationship going forward.

At Brown & Charbonneau, LLP, we are sensitive to the needs of parents and always work to protect the best interests of the child. We will handle your family law problems with the utmost care, compassion and attention to detail.

Protecting the Needs of Your Child

Child custody and visitation (also called parenting time) arrangements can cover a wide range of issues — from where your child lives, to what time you pick him or her up after school, to vacation plans. These arrangements are negotiated and set forth in a parenting plan tailored to meet your needs and the best interests of your child. We will defend your rights as a parent while working to protect the best interests of your child.

When disputes arise in a child custody or support matter, it is especially important to reach amicable agreements and avoid the acrimony of a drawn-out legal battle. Parents working together to form custody arrangements are often more likely to work together in parenting their children after the divorce and separation as well. Our family law attorneys are experienced litigators which helps us resolve disputes before they go to trial, and when necessary, provide strong advocacy for our clients in the courtroom.

Visitation

Many courts are moving away from the traditional idea of visitation and moving in favor toward parenting time arrangements. While the issues are the same, the concept of parenting plans better appreciate the value of both parents in a child's life. They work to form a shared parenting schedule among the children and their parents. We can help you put together a parenting plan that reflects your situation.

Orange County Modification Attorneys

When your life circumstances change, we can help you modify your divorce orders to reflect the new reality. Situations which may call for a modification of orders include relocation, remarriage, a change in school schedules or extracurricular activities, and other changes in familial situations.
