It is quite unfortunate that so often the child suffers more than anyone else in a highly contested divorce. One of our first objectives at JOS FAMILY LAW is to determine whether it is feasible to handle the issues of divorce and child custody outside of the courtroom. Whenever possible – when parents are able to put their own negative feelings about their former partner aside in order to reach the most cost-effective, efficient divorce and/or child custody agreement possible – mediation is an effective means of resolving conflicts in a divorce and child custody proceeding.
When parents are cooperative, their child will be emotionally protected from the stress of parents seeking guidance from the courts in matters of child custody. All too often, an innocent child thinks they must do something to stop their parents from fighting, which can cause horrendous stress and anxiety to a child. Worse, a child’s innocence might lead them to believe that they are the cause of their parents’ animosity and constant fights. As responsible adults, it is up to the parents – and their attorneys – to have the best interests of the child at the forefront of their divorce and/or child custody matter..
When parents no longer live together, and depending on the age and emotional maturity of the child, the courts often take into consideration the child’s preference regarding living arrangements. Because a child will be deeply affected by the decisions reached by the courts about which parent the child will live with, and because any and all such decisions will affect the holistic growth and wellbeing of the child, the courts consider input from the child seriously, whenever appropriate.
If you find yourself in a difficult situation regarding child custody issues, you must have an experienced and understanding attorney to help you reach a resolution that best suits you and your child. Feel free to contact JOS FAMILY LAW , and we will help you throughout the child custody process as seamlessly as possible. Call us at (714) 733-7066, or contact us via email at jos@josfamilylaw.com.

Another factor the Court considers in awarding Spousal Support is the extent to which the supported party contributed to the supporting party’s attainment of an education, training, a career position, or license. In a marriage, one spouse will sometimes decide to forego work in favor of attending to domestic duties and to raising the children.
Because one party takes care of cleaning the house, buying the groceries, preparing the meals, dressing the children, taking them to school, picking them up from school, nursing them when they are ill, the Court considers that this permits the other spouse to focus solely on their education or on career as they can take on long-term projects, travel out of town for business conferences, attend happy hour after work to network, work overtime and on the weekends, all of which aids them in career advancement. For this reason, the Court treats the stay-at-home spouse’s activities as if it were paid employment.
The Court knows that because that spouse stayed at home, she or he sacrificed earning an education or acquiring work experience which now results in a need for Spousal Support. Are you wondering if the Court would award you Spousal Support? Find out by talking to experienced Attorney Binoye Jos at (714) 733-7066.
