Developing a feasible parenting plan is a critical component of effectively resolving custody matters. Visitation should be tailored to fit your family’s unique circumstances. However, if such an arrangement is not feasible due to domestic violence, substance abuse or geographical distance, other alternatives must be explored.

Many parenting plans start off with a standardized schedule that allows the noncustodial parent every other weekend and certain dinner times, or something comparable. From this starting point, we can often negotiate additional visits or weekends, depending on the age of the child. Visitation is a modifiable part of the divorce decree, a parent can petition for an additional time later, particularly as young children get older.
The courts in Ventura County and across California want to see both parents working together, sharing parenting time and remaining focused on the child’s needs. It is important that both parents take a proactive role in the child’s life such as involvement in the child’s schooling, extracurricular activities, care and development.
Should your former spouse refuse to comply with a divorce decree or visitation arrangement set by the court, we can petition for an enforcement order or a child custody modification.
