Child Custody & Visitation Lawyer

Child Custody Attorney, Law Offices in Ventura & Westlake Village

At the Law Offices of Barton Pokras, we bring a child and family focused approach to all matters related to child custody and visitation. We know that the legal process can be overwhelming at times; we start by making certain that you learn about the process and what to expect as you move forward. Our office knows that every situation is unique and we take the time to understand your individual circumstances to produce results that work for you.

With more than 20 years experience Attorney Pokras will work with you to establish and implement custody and visitation arrangements that are in the best interests of your children. While looking out for the best interest of the children our office also wants to protect your rights as a parent. When constructing a custody visitation plan, we will factor in the medical, educational, religious and other special needs of the children as well as the issues that each parent brings to the situation.

How Custody and Visitation Plans Can Affect Your Children

Our law office will help you create ways to allow both parents to be involved in the lives of your children, without detrimentally affecting their well-being. In most cases, the parents can come to a mutually convenient visitation schedule that reflects their own practical needs while giving the child the benefit of both parent’s guidance, nurture and love. This is of immeasurable importance, as your children need to understand that each parent is part of their life, even though the parent may not be part of each other’s lives.

Visitation Disputes

Sometimes, deep divisions between the parents - whether based on religion, morals, drug dependency/abuse or domestic violence problems can lead to sharp disagreements in visitation. Charges of parental unfitness are taken very seriously by Ventura County family court judges whenever substantial evidence appears to support the allegations. As an experienced attorney, Barton Pokras will work with parents on either side of a visitation dispute to make sure that your case is presented clearly and convincingly. Our office can employ the use of experts to develop informed testimony about the suitability of a proposed visitation schedule.
