How to Deal with a Difficult Ex?

San Diego divorce lawyers, Michele Sacks Lowenstein, Certified Family Law Specialist (CLS-F), and Elizabeth Brown, discuss resources available to parents dealing with co-parenting with a difficult parent.

In California, legal custody is an agreement between parents on the medical, educational, and religious needs of their children. The court will share legal custody between the parents and expect the family to move forward in accordance with the joint decisions formalized in the custody plan. It is important to consult with your lawyer before the parenting plan is formalized into a court order and account for difficulties that may foreseeably arise.

Coparenting With a Difficult Parent

How Do I Address a Threat to Move Away with the Children?

San Diego divorce lawyers, Michele Sacks Lowenstein, Certified Family Law Specialist (CLS-F), and Elizabeth Brown, explain the weight of a "move away threat."

In California, the individual with the final say on a child's permanent residence is the judge. A threat to move out of state with the children doesn't carry much weight if it doesn't include a written agreement between the two parents or a court order. If a parent wishes to change the permanent residence of the children to another state, he or she will have to engage in a court process. The process includes filing a motion with the court, attending court ordered mediation, and potentially submitting to an extensive custody evaluation.
