Child Custody & Visitation

Compassionate California Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer

Rinehart Law Offices can help you navigate the divorce and child custody process as efficiently and effectively as possible.

Our firm’s founder, Attorney Rinehart, has considerable experience in helping families in the San Jose area with child custody and visitation agreements and orders, as well as child support.

Under California Law, child custody has two parts: physical custody and legal custody. Either type may be awarded to one parent or both parents, jointly. Child custody awards are primarily based on the child’s best interests. In addition, it is the policy of the courts to ensure that both parents share the rights and responsibilities of child rearing when in the best interests of the child.

Most family courts encourage parents to work out child rearing agreements themselves. Rinehart Law Offices can explain the process and help you negotiate an agreement that is in the best interest of the children.
