Protecting Children

In California, a child's living arrangements are based on what is best for that child. Determining the child's "best interest" is at the heart of custody litigation. Dishon & Block provides aggressive representation in court to present our clients favorably and protect the children from being drawn into acrimony that surrounds most divorce cases.

Modification of Child Custody Orders

The ever-changing social fabric of the American family frequently means that circumstances arise after the entry of the divorce decree calling for a change in custodial or visitation arrangements.

Child custody and visitation orders are generally modifiable whenever the court finds a modification is "necessary or proper" and in the child's best interests.

Typically, the parent seeking a modification must show a "significant change of circumstances" that would support such a modification.
