San Diego Child Custody Lawyers

In California, child custody arrangements involve physical custody (where the child lives) and legal custody (decision-making authority for education, health care and welfare). The types of child custody decisions shape your child’s daily life and long-term development. That is why it is necessary to secure proper legal representation.
