Empowering You to Find Child Custody and Support Resolutions
Among the most emotional and hotly-contested issues relating to a divorce are the questions of child custody and child support arrangements. With the future financial support and well-being of your children on the line, the guidance of an experienced attorney can be vital to coming to amicable resolutions regarding theses arrangements.
At the Law Offices of Sterling C. Johnson, I leverage more than 30 years of experience to offer caring and understanding support to clients in the San Francisco Bay Area who are struggling through child custody or support disputes. As a lawyer who believes in empowering my clients, I provide calming and caring mediative representation designed to help you and your spouse come to an amicable agreement with minimal court intervention.
If you are embroiled in a child custody or support dispute, I can help. Contact my office online or call 415-233-6136 or toll free 877-761-4947 to schedule a free consultation to discuss your specific needs.
Calm and Understanding Negotiation Assistance
I believe that both parties should attempt to work together to find resolutions to legal issues to they extent they are able to do so without court intervention. With that in mind, I work diligently to guide you and your ex- or soon-to-be-ex-spouse to an agreement on custody and support matters. If you are unable to come to an agreement, the process goes to family court services and possibly to a custody evaluation — an expensive and time consuming process.
My approach is designed to help you both reach an amicable agreement. To that end, I request you be prepared to fully participate in your case. I will ask you to come up with a schedule that will provide a baseline related to your custody and support expectations. This baseline forms the beginning of the negotiation process and allows me to offer advice on whether I believe you will be well served by my representation.
While support is usually determined by preset guidelines, various issues may still need to be addressed through the negotiation process, including add-on support matters like medical bills not covered by insurance, child care and school tuition. These issues are addressed in great detail throughout my service to you, allowing you to rest assured that your child's best interests are being well cared for.
