Child Custody Cases We Have Won For Our Clients
Father’s Visitation Orders Obtained in Child’s Best Interest
According to court records, family law attorney Yvette Ochoa managed this feat by showing to the judge that monitored visitation was in the best emotional interest of the child as monitored visitation would help the child smoothly adjust to having his father in his life again.
Primary Custody Granted for Happy Mom
After a heavily contested legal battle, the mother gained primary custody of her minor child, allowing the two to reside together in Texas according to court record. The child’s biological father had filed a motion to modify the current custody and visitation orders. If granted, the motion would have prevented the minor child from residing with the client in Texas.
Father Granted Custodial Rights after Being Refused Visitation
The father’s attorney filed a motion indicating that the client’s former spouse had taken unilateral parenting actions and refused to let the client see his own children or exercise any custodial rights. Attorney Sheldon Lee persuaded the court that the client’s former spouse had taken inappropriate actions that were not in the best interest of the children and that the client was entitled to certain custodial rights. Mr. Lee’s motion persuaded the court to order expedited mediation and make a custody order that very same day.
What you need to know about Child Custody Matters:
There are several things that you and your child custody attorney must consider before entering into any custody proceeding or agreement. The court will base any order it makes on what is necessary or proper for your child in light of the specific circumstances of your case (Family Code Section 3022). This is often referred to as what is in the best interest of the child.
When determining the best interest of the child, the court’s main concerns are your child’s health, safety and welfare. The court will also take into consideration of your child maintaining frequent and continuing contact with both his or her parents (Family Code Section 3020). In other words, so long as there is no negative impact on the health and well-being of your child, the court will try to ensure that both parents are allowed to play a role in raising your child.
Depending on the legal arguments brought forth by your child custody attorney, the family court may establish a custody arrangement in which:
- One parent gains sole custody of your child,
- Both parents receives joint custody of your child,
- Or neither parent receives custody, thus putting your child in the care of a non-party guardian.
Types of Child Custody
There are two parts to child custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to the parents having the right and responsibility to make decisions relating to the health, education and welfare of your child. Physical custody refers to where your child will reside and be under supervision of a parent or guardian.
Before any child custody hearing, parents are required to attend mediation to see if they can reach an agreement on their own. Mutual agreements are highly encouraged by the courts. However, in the event that the parents cannot come to a custody arrangement on their own, then the court steps in and the parents’ child custody attorneys try to obtain the best arrangement for their client.
The parent who is awarded custody of your child is referred to as the “Custodial Parent,” while the other parent is referred to as the “Non-custodial Parent.”

What Our Clients Say About Us
“My ex husband and I were going through a very bad divorce. My daughter is my whole life so when my ex started to play games and lie on documents to get a restraining order to have my daughter taken from me and my family I decided it was time to find an attorney. My mom found Wallin & Klarich by their website online and we set an appointment with one of their attorneys, Bethanie Fanti. Bethanie was great and helped us at every step. It only took one court hearing to handle everything; the restraining order, allowing my mom and stepdad to see my daughter every month and changing my custody from 8 hours a week to me being the primary custodial parent. I now have my daughter Monday through Friday, she is back in school and is just as happy with the outcome. I was very impressed with the way Bethanie handled my case. I plan to recommend Bethanie and the Wallin & Klarich law firm to anyone I come across who might be in need of legal assistance.”
– Elizabeth Moreira (Campos)
I was going through a child custody dispute and my girlfriend to gain custody of my child, made a false allegation that I physically abused her. I hired the law offices of Wallin & Klarich and they fought hard for me from the very first day that I hired them. Wallin and Klarich was able to convince the district attorney and the judge that the allegations were false and they were able to get the case dismissed. I was able to win my child custody dispute because of the brilliant legal team at Wallin and Klarich. If you are ever in need of a law firm that will fight for you, I would recommend Wallin & Klarich to handle your matter.

I would just like to express my warmest gratitude to your firm and make sure that you know how great our Wallin and Klarich lawyer was. We’ve had other lawyers before but none of them were close to the attorneys at your firm. We ended up never coming back to them. Our attorney replied to us within an hour when we called or texted him. He’s been honest and have worked with us very well. We became very comfortable with him even just knowing him for 2 weeks. Our first court hearing went well. We are coming back for a second hearing regarding my ex-husband seeking full custody of our daughter based on lies and dirty tricks played by his attorney. The petition was filed in the wrong court while my ex-husband knew of the correct court location. We were shooting for him paying my legal fees due to improper notification and it looks like we’re getting it. You were very flexible with our payment plans knowing that I did not have a job when we first met him. I start my new job on Monday. Your rates are very reasonable and have recommended your firm to some of my friends already. For the most part, affordability means a lot.
I was very surprised that you have answered my initial email within hours of being sent. This does not happen very often.
We are very happy that we found you guys. Thanks so much. This means a lot to myself and my daughter.
– Arlene V Ferrante
I was very worried I would lose custody of my kids and possibly go to jail. However, during the course of my case, my Wallin & Klarich attorney did a really good job and Wallin and Klarich was somehow able to all contempt charges against me dismissed, and I was able to retain custody of my children. Thank god that I decided to hire Wallin and Klarich. I would highly recommend Wallin & Klarich to anyone in need of a great law firm to put on their side.
