At the Law Offices of Hollie A. Lemkin, Ms. Lemkin delivers both as an Orange County child custody attorney. At our family law practice we focus on all of your child custody needs, and provide aggressive legal representation whether in negotiations, mediation or court. Our goal is an arrangement that is best for both you and your child. Contact our Orange County office for effective legal help with your custody case.
Best Interests of the Child
Ultimately, the law requires that arrangements be made in the best interests of the child. We begin by working directly with you to investigate your situation. We look at some of the following questions:
- Are you divorced, separated or never been married?
- Does one parent stay at home?
- Who is involved with the child's education, health care and extracurricular activities?
We then analyze your current custody arrangement:
- Is the child receiving supportive and loving parenting? Is he or she well-provided for?
- Is your child old enough to have a say in the child custody arrangement?
Finally, we examine all of your options and legal needs. This may include a full custody evaluation, counseling for you and your children, domestic violence proceedings and all other steps needed to fully enforce your rights and protect your child's best interests.
A Recent Case
A recent case illustrates our effectiveness in advocating effectively for our child custody clients. Our male client had almost given up hope of gaining custody of his children after his wife made numerous allegations regarding his parenting ability.
We investigated the situation and then demonstrated to the court that the mother had neglected to protect the best interests of her children. We also showed that our client provided the majority of the children's daily care. The result of our representation? Our client won full custody, an almost unheard of victory for a father in a custody dispute.
Preference of the Child
Effective in January 2011, it is anticipated that courts will be required to consider the preference of the child when evaluating child custody and visitation matters. However, if the courts can determine that the preference was not formed in a mature fashion, then the preference of the child is not required in consideration of child custody. Attorney Lemkin can explain to you how this affects your individual child custody case.
