Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer | Ventura - Los Angeles County
At The Warner Center Law Offices of Donald F. Conviser in Woodland Hills, California, we represent parents in all matters concerning child custody, visitation, child support and modifications. Often, these are the most difficult divorce and family law issues to resolve.
Whenever possible, we recommend a collaborative approach. Negotiating a child custody settlement that both parents can agree to is normally preferable to leaving the decisions up to a judge because judges frequently make child custody decisions neither party likes. If the parties cannot come to a mutually acceptable agreement, you need a knowledgeable, experienced, aggressive family law attorney to help you reach your Child Custody and Visitation objectives.
Every child custody case is unique. The goals that Warner Center Law Offices set and the approach we take always depend on the individual needs and situations of our clients.
"You have given me sophisticated legal advice and well thought-out strategies for complex problems. You have been a counselor and advisor in the best sense. My children and I are deeply grateful to you for navigating very difficult waters, always with our very best interest at heart." — DNC
“I’d like to take the time to recognize the amazing work that Donald Conviser has done for me. Words can’t describe how thankful I am to have worked with such a wonderful individual. He was very informative in letting me know the law and what my options were and guided me in the right direction and gave me amazing advice. He knew how to turn things completely around to work in my favor in a very intelligent way. I’ve had custody of my daughter for over 3 wonderful years and if I didn’t have Donald Conviser on my side, I could’ve very easily lost my rights to my daughter as a parent. Donald is someone who knows the law inside and out and knows how to work with you to make the best out of something that may seem impossible to win. I highly recommend him as I truly believe that he is the best at what he does” – BDC

Shared parenting plans are gaining favor in California, especially when both parents are actively involved in the lives of their children and contribute to their financial support. Parenting plans can also help prevent an economic tug of war.
Many factors must be taken into consideration when determining child custody and parenting plans, including:
- Parenting styles
- Who has acted as the primary parent
- Available time for parenting
- Bonding between parents and children
- Conduct or lifestyle of the parents
- Inappropriate parenting
- Inappropriate behavior by a parent's boyfriend or girlfriend
- Problems with step brothers/sisters
- Alcoholism
- Drug problems
- Family violence
- Whether the parties get along with each other
Physical Custody and Legal Custody and modifications
Physical custody refers to where a child resides, and it can be sole or joint. Legal custody refers to the person who is legally empowered to make major decisions concerning the child's health, education and welfare. It, too, can be sole or joint. Sometimes it becomes necessary to seek a modification of custody where circumstances affecting the children have changed or about to change, such as problems with a parent, a parent’s new mate, a stepbrother or stepsister, or a move-away by a parent.
Are you worried about inappropriate behavior by your spouse or his/her new girlfriend/boyfriend? We can assist you in many ways, including obtaining emergency orders, as well as a court order for a psychiatric evaluation. Do you want to move away with the children? Is there a risk that your spouse may want to move away with the children? You need an experienced family law specialist to assist and guide you, from the outset of the case.
