Child Custody Attorney
Few legal matters carry higher stakes than a dispute over a child's custody or care. Brad Faber Law represents parents throughout Camarillo and Ventura County in custody disputes, working to secure parenting arrangements that protect both the client's relationship with their child and the child's overall well-being.
Legal & Physical Custody in California
California recognizes two types of custody: legal custody, which is the right to make decisions about a child's health, education, and welfare, and physical custody, which determines where the child primarily lives. Either type of custody can be awarded jointly to both parents or solely to one, depending on the family's circumstances. Brad Faber Law helps clients understand how these distinctions apply to their case and what arrangement best serves their child.
Custody decisions in California are guided by the 'best interest of the child' standard. Courts weigh factors including the child's health, safety, and welfare; any history of abuse by either parent; the child's existing ties to school, home, and community; each parent's ability to communicate and cooperate; and, depending on the child's age and maturity, the child's own wishes. Brad Faber Law builds each custody case around these factors, presenting clear evidence of what arrangement truly serves the child.
How California Courts Determine Custody
Parenting Plans, Modifications & Relocation
Many custody cases in Ventura County are first referred to Family Court Services for custody recommending counseling (mediation) before a judge will hear the matter. Brad Faber Law prepares clients for this process and, where mediation does not resolve the dispute, advocates for them at hearing. The firm also handles modifications of existing custody orders when circumstances change, as well as 'move-away' cases involving a parent's request to relocate with a child.
Advocating for Fathers
Brad Faber Law is committed to representing fathers on equal footing in custody proceedings, helping them pursue the meaningful, active role in their children's lives that they are entitled to under California law.
