Child Custody Cases

There is no area of law that is as important as child custody. It can have a life altering effect on all family members. We consider this area of family law as deeply serious. Our legal team is aware of all the laws that the courts use in deciding the placement of minor children, visitation rights, and parental responsibilities. We work to make sure our clients can maintain a healthy relationship with all minor children involved in the case.

The state of California classifies custody into two categories: sole custody and joint custody. The parent who is granted sole custody is in charge of all decisions for the welfare of the child regarding place of residence, education, religion and extracurricular activities. The other parent in a sole custody settlement may have limited or no visitation rights. Joint custody means that each parent shares in both important decision making and financial support. Child custody decisions are also made for the children of unmarried couples or for those that are trying to gain custody of the child from another parent or guardian. The court tends to make every attempt to have the child remain with at least one parent.

Adoption in California

Our firm is familiar with all adoption policies. Stepparents and domestic parents who wish to adopt will need to have the noncustodial parent sign over parental rights. If you are using an agency to adopt, either a licensed adoption agency or the California Department of Social Services is involved. An independent adoption has no agency involved. If adopting a child from a foreign country, we recognize that we must remain in compliance with the rules of the country that the child is from.

Adopting can be a long and expensive process. At The Law Offices of Joseph Torri, we are highly experienced in the various procedures involved in adoption. We can provide guidance with all the required paperwork for a smooth transition to a joyful family addition.

Child Support in Santa Fe Springs, California

At The Law Offices of Joseph Torri, we recognize that child support is usually the most contentious part of divorce. We use a formula based on monthly wages after taxes for both parents, and the number of children under the age of 18. We recognize that the non-custodial parent must pay child support even if not employed.

Our attorneys are experienced in cases where the parent with limited or no visitation rights contests paying support. This is a difficult issue. We work to make the process smoother by simply explaining the laws that are in place to protect and serve innocent children. The laws must be strictly adhered to, and we will back up the court's decisions for the best interest of the custodial parent and children.

The Law Offices of Joseph Torri will provide an initial consultation at no cost for our prospective clients.
