California Child Visitation Attorney
A lengthy, bitter custody dispute can cause emotional damage to children. Determining custody through mediation is easier on the children because the process is not adversarial. In mediation, everyone's needs are heard. Together we talk through problems and concerns and find workable solutions.
You can get child custody mediation assistance at the Law Office of Tammara S. Bloom. I am a trained mediator as well as a family law attorney with more than 16 years of experience. Please call my office at 408-377-2817 to schedule an appointment.
Mediation Helps Parents Determine Their Own Parenting Plan
In mediation and collaborative law the parents work together with trained professionals to develop a comprehensive parenting plan for their family.
A parenting plan will address how the responsibilities for children will be shared by the parents. Issues it covers may include:
- Time scheduling
- Parenting responsibilities
- Daily care of the children
- School and extracurricular activities
- Holidays and vacations
- Heath care and insurance expenses
- Post-high school expenses
- Travel
- Special needs support
Since both parents are equally involved in custody mediation, both have the opportunity to make requests and voice their concerns and decide together what is best for their family. A stranger will not be deciding what is best for your family, you will. Sometimes the parents will need further information to determine what would be best for a child, especially when dealing with children with special needs. When necessary, I will refer the family to a child development specialist or special needs assessor to assist them further in making these important decisions.
