A Custody Book, a Clear Strategy, & Attorneys Ready for Court

Our approach to child custody representation combines the personal attention of a smaller firm with the depth of knowledge typically found in much larger practices. We don’t apply a one-size-fits-all strategy. Every family’s circumstances differ, and we develop a plan tailored to your situation and your child’s needs.

We pursue amicable resolutions through negotiation and mediation whenever that path serves our clients well. When it doesn’t, we’re fully prepared to advocate for you in court. That balance matters in custody cases, where the court’s decision can shape daily life for years to come.

Clients also receive a copy of Attorney Albright’s book, Child Custody and Visitation in California: Preparing for the Battle Ahead & Strategies for Winning the War. Written for California parents, it’s a practical resource designed to help you understand the process, anticipate what’s ahead, and approach your case with confidence from the start.

Experience & Recognition Behind Your Eastvale Custody Case

Attorney Shauna Albright has been licensed in California since 2001, and she and her team bring more than 80 years of combined legal experience to the practice. That depth allows us to handle straightforward parenting plan agreements and high-conflict custody disputes with equal care.

Ms. Albright has been rated a Top Divorce Attorney by Avvo and named a “Leading Lawyer” and “Top Lawyer” by Inland Empire Magazine. Her community engagement reflects the same commitment: in May 2020, she was elected to the Board of the Riverside Community College District Foundation, the philanthropic arm of RCCD dedicated to funding student scholarships and support programs.

Legal Custody, Physical Custody, & How California Courts Decide

California law recognizes two separate forms of child custody. Legal custody is the right to make major decisions about a child’s education, healthcare, and general welfare. Physical custody determines where the child lives day to day. Courts evaluate each type independently, so an arrangement can combine joint and sole elements. Parents might share legal custody equally, for instance, while one parent holds primary physical custody.

Either joint or sole custody can be awarded for each type. Joint custody gives both parents a role; sole custody concentrates that authority or physical placement with one parent. Whether you’re divorcing, separating, or were never married, you can seek a custody and visitation order through the Riverside County Superior Court’s Family Law Division.

How Custody Is Decided in Riverside County

California courts apply the best interest of the child standard when resolving contested custody matters. Judges weigh factors including the child’s health, safety, and welfare, as well as any history of abuse by a parent seeking custody. No single factor is automatically decisive; the court looks at the full picture of each child’s circumstances.

Before a contested custody hearing moves forward, California courts typically require parents to attempt custody mediation. A trained mediator helps parents work toward a parenting plan and visitation schedule they can both accept. When mediation produces an agreement, it can shorten the court process considerably. When it doesn’t, the matter proceeds to a hearing where a judge decides.

For Eastvale residents, custody and visitation cases are handled by the Riverside County Superior Court Family Law Division at the Riverside Family Law Courthouse. Knowing how that court operates, what to prepare, and how to present your position is where experienced legal representation can make a real difference.
