Custody Visitation

Vista Child Custody Lawyer

Vista Child Custody Attorney

Although child custody / visitation arrangements take a variety of factors into consideration, the child’s best interest is the most important consideration. The court is concerned with raising children in the healthiest way possible, and this often means giving both parents time with the child.

At my firm – Paula D. Kleinman, A Professional Law Corporation – I have more than 20 years of experience guiding clients through custody and visitation matters. In addition, I have experience in the full range of divorce issues, including:

In most situations, I encourage my clients to use the family court service mediation. Every family has unique factors that must be taken into consideration when child custody is being determined, and mediation gives families the flexibility they need to accommodate their situation. I prepare my clients for mediation, helping them understand the expectations and processes of mediation.

I work with my clients to resolve their legal matters and help them move on with their life. Schedule your free initial consultation with an experienced Vista divorce lawyer by contacting me online or by calling 760-542-6072.
