 |  | Caring Child Custody Lawyer in San Jose, CaliforniaWhen children are involved, it is much more than the end of a marriage — it is the breaking up of a family. When your family is faced with such pivotal changes, it is important to hire an attorney who will educate you about the process, carefully explain the options, and truly advocate for your interests and the interests of your children. At the San Jose law office of Martha N. Parker, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families through the challenges presented by divorce, separation, and child custody matters. From my office in San Jose, California, I am available to help families throughout Santa Clara County and the Silicon Valley. When your personal life is in turmoil, I make it my goal to be there for you and make it as painless as possible. I offer experienced advice and representation focused on guiding you through all child custody and visitation matters, including: Child custody: Whether through negotiated agreement or ordered by the court, child custody arrangements must address both legal custody (decision-making rights and responsibilities) and physical custody (what parent the child lives with). I can help you understand the options and attempt to find a solution that meets the needs of your family and the best interests of your children.Visitation: When one parent has primary physical custody, it is important for the other parent to have adequate visitation or parenting time (also known as shared parenting or time-sharing). I attempt to find legal solutions that are realistic, fair, and satisfying for everyone involved.Child support: I assist men and women with legal matters pertaining to child support, including establishing paternity when necessary, using child support calculators to estimate support, identifying issues, such as child care, that may require deviation from California child support guidelines, and other issues involving child support.Modifications and enforcement: Your child support order or shared parenting plan is crafted to meet the needs of your family as it currently stands. Job loss, new employment, family developments, and other issues can dramatically impact how well family court orders meet your needs. I can assist you with child custody modifications, visitation modifications, and child support modifications. Additionally, if an existing order is not being complied with, I can help you pursue court assistance to ensure the order is enforced.Relocation/move aways: When a parent wishes to relocate with the child, it may be necessary to obtain the written consent of the other parent or of the court. I can help you avoid issues involving parental kidnapping by ensuring appropriate procedures are followed pertaining to a move out of state.For caring, responsive family law advice from an experienced child custody lawyer, contact me today.
