New Title Helps Lawyers Avoid Custody Litigation Minefields
OAKLAND, CALIF.—With the complexities that exist concerning child custody law and the increasing wave of custody litigation by nonparents, it is crucial that family law and civil litigation attorneys avoid any missteps in their practice. CEB has just published a new resource to help attorneys-even those who handle only a limited number of these cases-utilize important custody concepts and doctrines. California Child Custody Litigation and Practice, a brand new title from Continuing Education of the Bar (CEB), provides succinct yet thorough coverage of concepts in child custody and visitation litigation and offers an understanding of how the important elements fit together to enable an attorney to handle a custody matter to the fullest. The authors include many well-respected family law litigators who are Certified Family Law Specialists.
Highlights:
Explains rules for California jurisdiction to obtain initial orders, modifications, and enforcement of orders/judgments
Covers situations involving children brought into or who have moved away from California
Chapter on handling parental relocation ("move away") cases
Chapter on visitation by grandparents, stepparents, and other third parties
Explains custody mediation, evaluation, and use of psychologists in custody litigation

Reasonable visitation is often the most practical solution because it allows the two parents to create a flexible visitation plan that works with both their own and their children’s schedule. Reasonable visitation works best when the parents are able to maintain a civil relationship with one another.
