In my last blog I discussed the issues of summer vacation and how it becomes difficult making plans when they are co-parenting issues involved.
As a family law attorney in San Diego, I feel it is best for parents to try and resolve issues on their own before bringing a matter to court. One viable option is mediation.
If parents are unable to discuss issues with each other, then as a family lawyer, I have done mediation between parents who are unable to communicate or resolve their issues without further intervention. During a mediation session, I have the parties outline their issues and they discuss them one by one trying to find a resolution to the issues. This can take time and effort, but if the mediation is successful, it can save time and effort in the long run and it keeps the decisions between the parents and not by the court.
With a successful mediation comes my drafting of a stipulated agreement, which gets filed with the court. This is the preferred outcome. If all the issues are unable to be resolved through mediation, then further steps need to be taken, which will be discussed in part three of the series.
To inquire further about more specifics of child custody and visitation consult with a local family law attorney who can discuss this process as it relates to your specific situation. In San Diego, contact the Law Offices of Brian A. Victor for more information. www.brianvictorlaw.com
