Family Court Services (FCS) is part of the Family Court process in San Diego County. They provide child custody recommending counseling in Family Law cases when separating or divorcing parents cannot agree on a child custody sharing plan. 

Family Law attorneys prepare their clients for these appointments. Preparation is important for all parents, whether represented or not. For example, the meaning of the phrase "best interest of the child" may seem obvious to a parent based on their own parenting experience and their deep knowledge of their own child. However, the meaning for the Court is complex and based in many aspects of family law and the family code that can feel disconcerting or even disenfranchising for a parent who does not have a basic understanding of child custody recommending counseling, coparenting skills, and the concepts of shared parenting.

I have over forty years of experience working with parents and children navigating the major life change of parental separation. The feelings are complex, confusing, and scary for everyone involved. My goal is to provide information and guidance to parents who wish to learn more before they engage in one of the most important child-focused processes in all of their lives.

I use a 2-session model that is an effective and affordable choice to learn, focus, and prepare.

Please contact me if you are interested in learing more about this FCS Preparation service.
