Gregory S. Futch, Attorney at Law

Experienced Sonoma County Child Custody Lawyer Gregory S. Futch

Denial of Visitation and Parental Alienation If you believe your children's other parent has been encouraging parental alienation — pushing your children to have negative feelings about you — or denying your visitation, you do have legal rights. If your visitation is denied, you can file an incident report with the police. Regardless of the source, parental alienation is very real. You will have to deal with it if it is happening to your children. There are legal steps you can take. Contact me for a free 30-minute consultation.

Child custody and visitation are a major part of my divorce and family law practice. I help clients with both the initial determination and later modification and enforcement of child custody and visitation schedules.

If you have a dispute about your child custody and visitation schedule or are in a situation where enforcement of the schedule is necessary, I can represent you. Contact me at my Santa Rosa office. I'm happy to provide a free 30-minute consultation for people who are considering hiring a family law attorney.

Working Through Complex Issues with Skill

In Sonoma County, the resolution of child custody disputes can involve mandatory mediation, Family Court Services investigations and/or counseling. The goal is to resolve the issues in the best interests of the children. Before you go through any of these procedures, it is best to consult a lawyer.

Cases where one parent moves away are among the most complicated. I have the experience to help clients through these cases.

Child custody and visitation schedules are binding agreements that can be enforced by the police or sheriff. I will help you develop a plan that is specific enough to be enforced and help you get enforcement if necessary.

Helping Parents and Kids Spend More Time Together

California is committed to the idea that frequent, long-term contact with both parents is virtually always in the best interests of the child, and this commitment is reflected in the sorts of parenting plans that are approved.

That means that if one parent is deemed unfit, he or she will often be granted supervised visitation in order to maintain the parent-child relationship. So if you had problems like drug or alcohol abuse during your marriage and do not have custody of your children but have since cleaned up, I can probably help you get visitation.

Whatever child custody and visitation issues you are dealing with, I can help you understand the often complex laws and procedures and work toward a resolution that works for you and your children. If you are considering hiring a family law attorney, contact me to get a lawyer with more than 20 years of experience on your side.
