Wilkinson and Finkbeiner, LLP – San Diego in San Diego

Child custody and visitation proceedings are often the most difficult of all family law matters for the litigants, attorneys, and judges. Unfortunately, while our legal system tries and makes the process the most “fair” it can be and focuses on the best interests of the child, there is often a disconnect between a family law judge and the parties and children involved.

This is through no fault of the judge, of course. The courts have too many cases on calendar and they only receive information that is presented to them during the course of the custody litigation matter. It’s not like the judge or commissioner will go and visit the homes of each parent, interact with the children, and so forth.

As a result, it is imperative that you have expert legal representation that is familiar with the best way to get this important information to the San Diego family court judge assigned to your case. Often, information must be presented in a concise and relevant manner.

Further, your San Diego child custody attorney should have significant experience in dealing with neutral experts such as Family Court Services mediators, court appointed custody evaluators under Family Code 3111 and Evidence Code 730, and so forth. Neutral experts hold substantial weight and credibility in the court’s eyes, and ensuring that their information and testimony is helpful to your case is crucial.
