When you work with Moore Family Law Group, you get a team that brings:
Local experience with Beverly Hills and Los Angeles County custody procedures
Strategic preparation for mediation, hearings, and all filings
Clear communication backed by practical guidance
A child-centered approach that also prioritizes your parental rights
Strong advocacy if your case requires litigation or emergency orders
We understand how stressful these cases can be, and we work to reduce uncertainty while giving you meaningful control over the process.
In most contested custody matters in Los Angeles County, parents must participate in Child Custody Recommending Counseling (CCRC), a mandatory mediation session with a court-appointed counselor. You can also review the California Courts guide on child custody for additional information.
Here’s how it works:
You and the other parent attend mediation to discuss custody and parenting time.
If an agreement is reached, the counselor records the terms.
If you cannot agree, the counselor issues a written recommendation to the judge.
The court reviews the recommendation and may use it as a basis for orders.
Because attorneys cannot attend CCRC sessions, preparation is critical. We help you organize your concerns, understand what to expect, and present your position clearly during mediation. If your case moves to a hearing, our Beverly Hills child custody attorneys are ready to advocate for you in court.
We assist with every aspect of custody, including:
Legal vs. physical custody
Parenting schedules and holidays
Decision-making authority
Modifying existing custody orders
Enforcement when orders are violated
Cases involving safety concerns, relocation, or parenting conflicts
Our goal is to help you build a stable plan that supports your child’s needs today and as they grow
Every family situation is different, and California law looks closely at the unique circumstances of your case. Factors like your child’s routine, schooling, health needs, and each parent’s ability to provide a safe and stable environment all play a part in creating a final order. Our attorneys help you prepare the strongest possible presentation of your position, organize documentation, and understand what the court will consider when making decisions. This level of preparation helps reduce stress and gives you a clearer path forward.
