About Jos Family Law

We understand how important parenting roles and family structures are in Arabic families. Jos Family Law is your answer to the intersection of language, culture, and compassionate legal advocacy

When parents divorce, the court decides with which parent will the child live and the circumstances under which the other parent may be allowed to visit. More often than not, parents work these arrangements between themselves through a mediator or their attorneys. However, there are times when mediation or voluntary discussions do not help reach a consensus and parents are compelled to take the matter to court. Unmarried couples, too, may disagree on who gets to have custody of the children and may consider the court option as their final resort.

The court considers the child’s best interests in formulating its child custody decree, while considering each parent’s needs to spend meaningful time with their child/children. However, not each parent may get to spend as much time as they would like with their children, or both may be dissatisfied with the court order. Several factors go into deciding the child’s best interests, such as:

  • The child’s age and developmental needs
  • The child’s preference to live with either parent, especially if they are 14 years or older
  • The child’s local school, community involvement, and connections with their friends as well as extended family
  • The child’s health and the ability of a parent to care for them
  • How strong a bond the child shares with a parent
  • The ability of a parent to maintain their child’s bond with another parent
  • Any history of verbal or physical abuse with the child as well as substance abuse on the parent’s part

What are California’s Custody Terms?

The state of California recognizes legal and physical custody as the two main types of custody. Apart from these, visitation laws may also apply to the non-custodial parent under certain circumstances.

Physical Custody Refers to which parent the child will share residence with and how their time will be distributed between both parents. Physical custody can be of two types

  • Sole: The child lives with one parent for the majority of their time while the other parent is granted visitation or supervised visitation
  • Joint: Both parents get equal parenting time each week or for a set duration. The schedule each parent shares with the child is roughly equal.

Legal Custody: This refers to a parent’s rights to make important decisions about the child’s upbringing related to their education, healthcare, religious influence, and other activities they may be involved in. In many cases, parents have joint legal custody where the non-custodial parent is granted equal rights in making decisions about the child’s future.

Visitation: This is awarded to the non-custodial parent, ensuring that they have a healthy, consistent relationship with the child after the divorce or separation. It can be of four main types:

  • Scheduled: The court decides specific dates and times which the child will spend with the visiting parent. Scheduled visits can include holidays, vacations, and other important events related to the family, such as birthdays, mothers’ day, fathers’ day, etc.
  • Reasonable: These visits are worked out by mutual agreement of a schedule between both parents. However, if no mutual agreement can be reached, then court-directed scheduled visits are encouraged
  • Supervised: If one of the parents displays signs of harming the safety and well being of the child, then they may be granted visits supervised by the other parent, adult, or a professional agency. Supervised visits are also encouraged for parents who were absent from the child’s life for a long time and would now like the child to become familiar with them.
  • None: A non-custodial parent may be denied visitation if they are found to be harmful for the child even in a supervised visitation arrangement.

Thank you very much to Mr. Jos and to all his group of professionals who helped me get out of my child support case with a very good result. Each case is different and my case was very complicated. I live in the state of Virginia and the child support office of the state of California was starting a case against me, the amount they wanted me to pay was ridiculously high I didn't know what to do because I don't live in California and I had never met the child either. I searched online for a lawyer in California and thank God I found Mr. Jos's law office. I don't know them personally but I put my trust in them and they didn't disappoint me. We had very good communication despite the distance and they were always available to talk to me and clarify my doubts. Mr. James was the one who took my case to the end and after a long and very difficult process everything went very well in my favor much more than expected. I am very grateful to God for putting the entire team of professionals from Mr. Jos' office on my way. Words are not enough for me to describe everything they did for me and how grateful I am. I definitely recommend Mr. Jos's law firm. Thank you Mr. James for not giving up in my case and having achieved a magnificent result in my favor.

This was the second attorney that represented me for my divorce. Binoye is a very knowledgeable, fair, and professional attorney. They are reliable and this made my experience way less painful. They are definitely not greedy for money, they are not one of the many attorneys out there who overbill for their services. I truly recommend them.

JOS family Law took on my case which entailed custody and move away components and I honestly could not say enough great things about JOS Family Law! Mr. Jos is not only extremely knowledgeable and professional, but it is also extremely obvious how much he cares for his clients on a personal level as well. There is an expression that two heads are better than one, however, Mr. Jos' philosophy takes it further as eight heads are better than two. It was so impressive and reassuring how collaborative everyone at the office works together to meet on regular cadences and discuss their client's cases to brainstorm strategies in order to seek the best possible outcome for their clients. Mr. Jos has an amazing team of extremely talented and knowledgeable attorneys that have worked together on my case. James was the lead attorney on my case and also represented me in my hearing. James was able to get us everything we were asking for as he successfully proved that full custody remaining with me is in the best interest of the children and that the move away is in the best interest of the children as well. We were able to come up with a plan to ensure that the children's mother can visit regularly and still maintain a healthy relationship. James is a rock star attorney! I would without hesitation refer anyone seeking help in a family law matter to call Jos Family Law!

Have Questions About Your Child Custody Case?

We are here to answer all your doubts and concerns about your child custody case. Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked ones:

Yes. This falls under legal custody. A parenting plan can include provisions describing how a child will be raised, including religious education, participation in cultural traditions, and Arabic language schooling. California courts generally allow these provisions as long as they serve the child’s best interests.

In cases involving unmarried parents, the court often recognizes the mother as the primary caregiver unless the father establishes legal parental rights. Once paternity is established, custody decisions are made based on the child’s best interests and each parent’s ability to provide care and stability.

You can choose the best Arabic child custody lawyer by verifying their California Bar license status and reviewing any disciplinary history. Consider their experience in Orange County family courts, years of practice in child custody law, and ability to communicate in Arabic. Experienced family law attorneys can guide you through custody proceedings and protect your parental rights.

The State Bar of California offers specialist certification to family law attorneys who complete additional training, pass examinations, and demonstrate substantial experience in family law matters. These attorneys often have deeper expertise in custody and parenting plan cases.
