DIVORCE ■ CHILD CUSTODY ■ MEDIATION
DIVORCE ■ CHILD CUSTODY ■ MEDIATION
Since 1992, Oakland attorney and mediator Sylvia Woods has been helping Bay Area families to achieve healthy, constructive resolution to their family legal issues including divorce, child custody, visitation, child support, paternity, grandparents' rights, and injured minors.
DIVORCE ■ CHILD CUSTODY ■ MEDIATION
Our experience includes handling high-conflict mediation and multi-ethnic child custody, visitation, and adoption cases. We also handle cases where domestic violence is an issue.
Divorce is never easy, but the process shouldn't destroy the people involved. Divorce is supposed to solve problems but guidance while turning life's corners makes it easier.
As a rule, we advise our clients to avoid going to court. Why? It's risky. California's family law courts are under funded and overworked. Many judges spend only one year there and then move on, and often have little training in child development and family resolutions.
It is better to work with seasoned people who can be creative problem solvers.
I have a large family - children and grandchildren - and years of experience as both parent and attorney. There are not too many issues or scenarios that I do not have deep understanding about, including family dysfunction, cultural issues, and violence. - Attorney Sylvia Woods
