Torrance Child Custody Attorneys Serving All of Los Angeles and Orange County
Child custody disputes are some of the most embittered and difficult situations for families. Parents worry that they will lose their rights or be forced to fight to have a relationship with their children. Parents may be struggling with a current order that is just not working for their child or children. Custody orders can be changed based upon the current circumstances of the child and the parents. Children of divorce can feel torn between their parents. When you are facing a custody or visitation dispute, you want a legal team that will protect your rights, while looking for a lasting solution for your family. At Colleen and Patricia Barberis of Patricia Barberis, A Law Corporation, we believe in helping families resolve disputes so that they can move forward after divorce. Your custody order should be reviewed by our legal team every year or as your circumstances change, to ensure that the order provides for the best interest of your child or children

Protecting your rights and the best interests of your child
Whether you have been involved in a family dispute before, you may already know the expression, "best interests of the children." Courts may make a determination based on this singular fact alone. When looking to protect your rights, it is important to remember that the courts will review a number of facts, all of which may weigh in the custody-decision-making process.
It is important to work with an attorney who knows the law and how to apply it to the facts of your case. Have you had the majority of caretaking responsibility? Do you feel that your child would be safer with you than with the other parent? Are you concerned about visitation and parenting time? Is the current order or arrangement working or does it need to be modified? When you have concerns, we can provide the guidance and legal support you need.
We are experienced in complex custody cases involving:
- Parenting plans and visitation
- Move-aways and relocation
- Payment of attorney fees and costs
- Accusations of abuse, neglect or domestic violence
- Poor parenting or risks to children
- Children with special needs
