✔️ Ask for clarification instead of assuming
✔️ Leave past marital problems out of current parenting discussions

At Envision Family Law, we help individuals understand their family law options so they can make informed decisions about the next chapter of their lives.

Is shared child custody always the best option for children? 🤔

Many parents agree to a 50/50 custody arrangement, with children spending time between both households. However, shared custody is not always the right solution for every family.

Factors such as significant parental conflict, communication challenges, and concerns about a parent's ability to provide appropriate care may affect what custody arrangement is best for a child.

Every family is different—and custody arrangements should reflect the circumstances involved.

Read our latest California blog to learn more about shared child custody.

When unmarried couples build a life together, they may share much more than a home. They may combine finances, purchase property, share expenses, or make other important financial decisions together.

But what happens if the relationship ends?

A California cohabitation agreement can help couples put important expectations in writing and address issues such as property, financial responsibilities, housing arrangements, and more.

Having these conversations before a disagreement arises can provide valuable clarity about the future.

Learn more about cohabitation agreements and how they may help unmarried couples.
