Dedicated Experience in Family Law on Your Side.
Covina Child Custody Lawyer: Sole Custody
Are you seeking sole custody of your child or children?
The state family court system is committed to protecting the best interests of children. Generally, the courts will base a custody decision upon the concept that children are best served by having access to both parents - but not in all situations. If you were the victim of domestic violence, or your child was physically or emotionally abused, the court is likely to award sole custody. This is in the best interest of the child, as it protects the child from future injury or emotional damage. In cases in which a parent is involved in criminal activities, incarcerated, or addicted to drugs or alcohol, the court will consider these facts when awarding custody.
Are you seeking sole custody of your child or children? It could not be more important to hire a lawyer who has a track record of success with securing positive results in child custody cases.
At my firm, The Law Offices of Paul A. Eads, A.P.C., I take on tough child custody cases. Are you concerned about the health and welfare of your children if the other parent has access through custody? We need to discuss your situation. The court will demand extensive evidence to support your request for sole custody. I know very well what types of supporting evidence will lead to a positive decision about sole custody, and I can discuss this and other facts with you. Even when the other parent has a criminal history, or has other serious problems, the court will likely allow visitation.
I can take action to ensure that the child will have only supervised visitation if there is any possibility of danger, neglect, injury or harm, whether physically or emotionally. Some cases will allow the court to make a decision that any visitation would be counter-productive, particularly in cases in which it is established that there has been child abuse, molestation or emotional abuse.
Call my firm to discuss your concerns. I can help you immediately if you are seeking sole custody, and I am very aware of the level of supporting evidence we will be required to submit, and I would like to discuss all of these facts with you at once.
This book, written By Paul A. Eads, helps readers know how to prepare before they initiate a legal endeavor and helps make the legal terms of family law issues easier to understand.

"Mr. Eads worked hard for me and I am confident he will do the same for you."My ex boyfriend was very abusive. His attorney seemed to be very aggressive and was always filing Ex Parte (emergency) hearings for me to appear in court. Due to a cost issue, I attempted to handle matters myself but it seemed that I could not get my point accrues to the judge who seemed to be familiar with my ex boyfriend’s attorney. I found Mr. Eads in the phonebook and I thought I would give him a call. Mr. Eads was able to get the restraining order I was seeking and my ex boyfriend ended up paying Mr. Eads’ attorney fees. I can now feel rest-assured that my daughter and I will be safe. I also happy that I do not have to deal with my ex’s attorney anymore. Mr. Eads worked hard for me and I am confident he will do the same for you.- K.Y.

"The outcome was much more than I ever expected to receive."My previous attorney failed to show up for my court date and as a result, the matter was set for trial without any input from my side. I desperately sought out an attorney but most of them wanted a huge retainer up front. I found Mr. Eads and when I went in for a consultation, I found that his retainer was more than reasonable. I also liked the fact that he practices exclusively family law and seems very familiar with the local judicial officers. I felt very comfortable with Mr. Eads in my corner going into my trial and I found that the outcome was much more than I ever expected to receive. Mr. Eads was very thorough in my case evaluation and helped me get everything I was entitled to.- J.L.

"Mr. Eads was able to help structure a settlement that allowed me to keep my business while sharing the business debts with my ex."I am a business owner and when I got divorced, I was terrified that I would lose my business. My business was also heavily leveraged against and I did not have enough capitol to sustain the business and pay my wife spousal support. My ex had an attorney who was very intimidating and kept pressuring me to liquidate the business so that I could pay his attorney’s fees. I was referred to Mr. Eads by a friend. Mr. Eads was able to help structure a settlement that allowed me to keep my business while sharing the business debts with my ex. I was also able to shorten my spousal support obligation. I really appreciate Mr. Eads professionalism and guidance during these difficult times.- J.A.

"Not only did Mr. Eads get my daughter returned to me, I was able to have full physical custody."I am honored to write this review for Mr. Eads after he helped reunify me with my daughter after my ex abducted her and moved to Arizona. I was devastated when I came home from work to find my ex had left with all our daughter’s belongings. I called the police who told me I needed to hire an attorney. I came across Mr. Eads’ website and I was impressed with his bio. I contacted him immediately and within days, we were in court requesting that my the DA Abduction unit assist me in the return of my daughter. Not only did Mr. Eads get my daughter returned to me, I was able to have full physical custody and my ex has summer and holiday visitation. Mr. Eads is truly my hero. Thanks Mr. Eads!- Paul W.
