Protect the Best Interests of Your Children
At MSWC, we recognize that every child custody case is different. We take an individualized approach to family law matters, thoroughly evaluating all of the facts and developing a strategy designed to help you achieve your legal goals.
In California, the best interests of the child is used as a benchmark when making child custody decisions. If you and your spouse are unable to come to an agreement, the court will determine a child custody plan for you.
We have experience helping families resolve custody disputes involving:

- Parenting time: We will assess your schedule and help you create a visitation plan that allows you to spend high-quality time with your child.
- Child custody modifications: We can assist you in seeking a modification or resisting a modification to an existing child custody order.
Our lawyers are committed to helping you create a custody agreement that protects your rights and also the best interests of your child. You can expect to work with an attorney every step of the way. We will never hand your case off to a legal assistant or other staff member.
