Helping California Families Determine Child Custody and Support
In the Best Interest of the Child, Without Ignoring Parental Rights
Of all the cases I handle, questions of child custody are among the most emotional. Your family dynamic is changing and what was once taken for granted must now be parsed out in court. While it is best for everyone if you and the other parent can reach an agreement for sharing custody, this is not always possible.
At the law office of C. Alexandre Barbera, Attorney at Law, I have focused on family law for 25 years. Since 1984, I have been certified as a Family Law Specialist in California. I have a broad and deep background in the area of child custody, including custody in divorce cases. I will work with you, the court and other attorneys to make sure that your child's best interests are protected and that you are given fair and adequate time with the him or her.
The best custody solution is one which allows your child, or children, to transition smoothly into a new family situation. If you are an active parent, there is no reason you should not be able to remain highly involved following a custody ruling.

25 Years of Experience Resolving Questions of Child Support
California has set guidelines defining when child support is owed and how much is to be paid. In almost all cases, these guidelines will be applied without exception.
Still, situations change. Your income can go up, and it can go down. If you have primary custody of your child and feel that you are entitled to more child support — or if you feel that you are paying too much child support — I can help you.
Together, we will file a motion on your behalf, either seeking more child support, or seeking to reduce your support obligation. Especially in these hard economic times, if you are having trouble making payments, seek the advice of an experienced lawyer who can help you determine your options.
If you have a question regarding child support already in place or wish to modify it, I can help you work through the options. Call me at 916-565-7467 or reach me online.
