Protecting The Best Interests Of Your Child

The best interests of the children are paramount in every family law case we handle. We are fully prepared to investigate the issues that may complicate a child custody dispute to present the most compelling case to obtain a favorable outcome and ensure the health, education, and welfare of your child. Common issues include:

California Child Support Guidelines Calculations

Child support is often intertwined with  spousal support calculations. While a DissoMaster program can be used to determine a guideline amount for child support, it is only as good as the numbers imputed. This is where having a lawyer with a background in finance and tax becomes important. We have the experience to ensure a spouse or partner does not manipulate numbers to create an unfair parent share or child support award.
From day one, our child custody attorneys offer personalized attention in preparing the strongest custody case. We will take the time to understand the goals and concerns of each client. We fully explain all available legal options to ensure clients make informed decisions every step of the way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Custody decisions in California are based on the best interests of the child, which include factors like the child’s health, safety, emotional needs, and each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment. The court generally favors arrangements that support frequent and meaningful contact with both parents, when appropriate. At Kaspar & Lugay LLP, we can help you present a clear, compelling case that prioritizes your child’s well-being while protecting your parental rights.

A demanding job alone doesn’t automatically disqualify a parent from custody, but it may factor into the court’s analysis of availability and consistency. Courts look at the whole picture, including the quality of the parent-child relationship and whether a workable schedule can be established. If custody is at risk, Kaspar & Lugay LLP can help you build a strategy that reflects your commitment to your children despite professional obligations.

Allegations of domestic violence are taken seriously by the court and can significantly affect custody outcomes. In many cases, the court may limit or supervise visitation if it believes the child’s safety or emotional well-being is at risk. If these issues are part of your case, Kaspar & Lugay LLP can help you navigate the legal implications and protect both your rights and your child’s safety.

If you and your spouse reach a full custody agreement, you can often avoid a courtroom battle by submitting a stipulation to the court for approval. While a judge must formally approve the agreement to make it legally binding, the process is typically straightforward when both parties are in agreement. At Kaspar & Lugay LLP, we can help you draft a clear, enforceable agreement that reflects your shared understanding and protects your interests.

If your ex-spouse violates the custody order, you may be able to request court enforcement or a modification of the arrangement. Repeated violations can carry legal consequences and may impact future custody rights. At Kaspar & Lugay LLP, we can help you take the necessary legal steps to enforce your agreement and protect your time with your children.
