Bay Area Child Custody Law Firm

California has a diversity of families, many of which are non-marital, multi-ethnic and non-traditional. Families today are also ever-changing and mobile. At the Oakland law office of Sylvia Woods, we respect this diversity and we're experienced in inter-cultural, inter-state and even international family law issues. Our experience and sensitivity makes a difference.

We have found that our level of expertise also makes a big difference when we represent minor children in personal injury cases

We help Bay Area Families Solve Problems.

If you need help with a divorce, paternity action, child custody or adoption, and your situation is complicated by conflicting cultural values, parenting teenagers, and distance between parents' homes, please contact our law office today and tell us about your situation.

We can help you to understand your options and the issues involved in California child custody and paternity cases.

• Child custody is based on what is best for the child and since people and circumstances can change, custody of a minor child is never really permanent.
• Mothers and Fathers have equal rights under the California law when paternity is established.
• Child support in California is complicated and with often unexpected results. Anyone involved in a child support case should seek legal advice early and often.
• When a parent is planning to move away and wants to take the children, it's important to consult with a family law attorney as soon as possible.
• Domestic violence issues maybe handled in domestic violence or family law court, but a person may also face criminal charges. Police reports and what you say to others can gravely affect your parental rights and freedom. See a lawyer!
