What The Court Looks At Regarding Child Custody

What The Court Looks At Regarding Child Custody

San Jose Child Custody Lawyer

Simply put, in child custody matters the court always decides in favor of "what is in the best interests of the child." This can come as a shock to some parents who believe that the goal of a court should be fairness.

But the court looks at a child custody matter from the viewpoint of what is best for the child, not what is best for the parent. Given this fundamental principle of child custody law, a legal strategy which argues from the viewpoint of the parent or in terms of "fairness" is doomed to fail.

An Experienced Advocate Can Make A Difference

At the Dominion Law Group, we have successfully represented hundreds of clients in child custody matters. We understand what the court considers in child custody disputes, and we can make the argument in legal terms which the court can accept and with which it can agree. We understand the uses of and the pitfalls of child custody evaluation procedures, and can utilize or challenge the findings of these evaluations as the case demands.

The court can be persuaded by skillful and knowledgeable advocacy. It cares about such things as stability and promoting a close and continuing relationship with both parents, whenever possible. In making your case to the court, we will argue in terms designed to persuade the court that your position is truly the one that is in the best interests of the child.

In every child custody and family law matter, the Dominion Law Group provides legal representation and advocacy to protect the rights of its clients and serve the best interests of the child.
