Hermosa Beach Child Custody AttorneyIn a child custody or visitation matter, an attorney must protect the rights of the client—and the best interests of the child. At the Law Offices of Thomas M. Polinger, we pay special attention to the needs of both— n the initial custody decision and as the needs of the client and the child change over time. Our firm represents clients in matters involving:
Child custody decisions lie entirely in the hands of the court. When both parents give indications that they are committed and caring parents, the court will almost always opt for joint legal custody and some form of shared physical custody. In cases where one parent gives indications that he or she is not fully capable of properly caring for the child, the court will decide on the basis of "the best interests of the child". In the latter case, an experienced child custody lawyer can often persuade the court to decide in favor of the lawyer's client.
