If you and your child's other parent were never married, how does that affect your rights to custody, your obligations of child support, and your opportunity to be involved in your child's growth and development? At the Family Law Offices of Carol A. Gorenberg, we have extensive experience in working with both mothers and fathers in non-marital families The law today recognizes that the richness of the parent-child relationship should not be diminished by the fact that the parents were not married. Working with the other parent to reach agreements, arrange parenting plans, and communicate regarding your children's needs will enhance your children's opportunity to have healthy relationships throughout their lives. We take seriously our voluntary commitment under the California Attorney Guidelines of Professionalism to "seek to reduce emotional tension and trauma and encourage the parties and attorneys to interact in a cooperative atmosphere, and keep the best interests of the children in mind."
Of course, where the relationship is complicated by a history of domestic violence, substance abuse, or child endangerment, these behaviors must be considered in any plan that serves the child's best interest.
Compassionate and Effective Representation.
