Whether you're going through a divorce, separation, or need to modify an existing custody order, having a local attorney who understands both the law and the High Desert community can make a meaningful difference.
At Lewis Legal Group, we help Victorville parents navigate custody matters—from establishing initial custody arrangements to handling modifications, move-away cases, and enforcement.
San Bernardino County Custody Mediation
Before any contested custody hearing in San Bernardino County, parents must participate in custody mediation through Family Court Services. This isn't optional—it's required by California law.
San Bernardino County uses a "recommending" mediation model. If you and the other parent cannot reach agreement, the mediator will make a recommendation to the judge. These recommendations carry significant weight, making preparation crucial.
We help Victorville parents:
- Prepare effectively for county mediation
- Develop a proposed parenting plan
- Present their case professionally and persuasively
- Respond if the mediator's recommendation is unfavorable
Types of Custody Cases We Handle
- Initial custody orders during divorce or paternity cases
- Custody modifications when circumstances change
- Move-away cases when one parent wants to relocate
- Enforcement of existing custody orders
- Emergency custody orders when children's safety is at risk
