Sacramento Child Custody Lawyer

Focused on the Best Interests of Your Children

In a marriage, children can bring out the best in people. During a divorce proceeding, children can bring out the worst in soon-to-be ex-spouses, who sometimes draw boundary lines in preparation of a fight. At the Sacramento Law Office of Bunmi Awoniyi in Sacramento, we help you focus on what is most important in a child custody matter: the best interests of your children.

Do not let the emotional fallout of divorce cloud your decision-making process. We stand ready to represent you and protect your rights in child custody proceedings, even if your interests can only be resolved in the courtroom. Contact our Sacramento County firm at 916.265.2694.

Helping You Make Good Decisions in Contentious Child Custody Cases

At the Law Office of Bunmi Awoniyi, we see children getting lost in the shuffle of dysfunction that spills out in the process of determining child custody. Their needs are ignored as mom and dad fight it out in court. You may think you have the best of intentions, but a war with your spouse only puts your child in the middle.

Striving for Mediation in the Best Interests of Your Children

A father wants more parenting time. Restrictions are proposed for supervised visitation. One spouse wants to move far away with the children. Time with children becomes a bartering tool for support. A wide variety and number of child custody matters can surface in a family law case. In certain instances, parties may determine to proceed to mediation and avoid going to court in matters ranging from support and custody issues to property division and other matters. Conversely, the parties might find themselves in court-ordered mediation (e.g., on a child visitation matter), which is a front-loaded and court-mandated process resulting in a judicial recommendation. We are intimately familiar with the issues and the processes, and can help you focus on your best interests and the present and future well-being of your children.
