Experienced and Knowledgeable

Our team possesses in-depth knowledge of California family law and extensive experience handling complex child custody and visitation cases.

When is Minor's Counsel Necessary?

The court may appoint a minor's counsel in various situations, including:

• Highly Contested Custody or Visitation Disputes: When parents disagree on child custody or visitation arrangements, a minor's counsel can ensure the child's perspective is considered when appropriate.
• Allegations of Abuse or Neglect: If there are concerns about a child's safety due to potential abuse or neglect, the court may appoint a minor's counsel to represent the child's best interests.
• Unstable or Unsafe Home Environments: When either parent's home is deemed potentially unsafe or unstable for the child, a minor's counsel can advocate for a living situation that prioritizes the child's well-being.
