Fresno Child Custody

Fresno Visitation Modification

Fresno Child Custody orders and Fresno Child Visitation orders may need to be modified when circumstances change over time, which often leads Fresno parents to become more time and energy flexible than their formal Fresno court order currently defining custody and visitation. If you find that you and your Fresno child’s other parent have determined that the original Fresno Superior Court child custody agreement is not working or meeting the needs of your child and your family, this is the time to consider taking your custody order and visitation case back to court to seek a modification of your Fresno court custody order. By requesting a formal Fresno court modification of your custody order, you protect yourself, your child and your relationship with the other parent.

Fresno divorce in the State of California refers to divorce as the dissolution of marriage. In simple language a Fresno divorce is the legal process of dividing community property, as well as securing the right of each parent to care and support their children.

In the State of California Superior Court orders, alimony obligations always stop with the remarriage of the Fresno supported spouse

Deciding Custody Issues

Deciding child custody and visitation is one area of family law that brings to the courtroom the anxiety, hostility, tension, volatility and raw – brutal emotion of the family dynamic in transition. It is a rare day in a Fresno divorce, dissolution or child custody determination where the parents are able to set aside personal differences to reach the target of what is best for all the children. The majority of parents tend to pay lip service to this goal of what’s best for the child and often cannot reach an amicable decision. Our Fresno judges will take great pains to get the parents themselves to come to a mutually acceptable custody agreement because it is a rare day when a decision by a stranger, the judge, is completely acceptable to all involved.

Deciding Visitation

Under normal circumstances our Fresno court will grant reasonable visitation rights to a parent unless it is shown that the child visitation will be detrimental to the best interests of the child. It is also possible that a non-parent like a grandparent can in the discretion of the court also be granted visitation rights if they have an interest in the welfare of the child, as is often the case involving grandparents, step-parents and other non-parents.
