Comprehensive Family Law Services

Michelle Paul offers personalized legal counsel across a wide range of family law matters, with a special focus on cases involving children. Her goal is to protect your rights while prioritizing the best interests of your family—especially your children.



Child Custody

When parents separate, determining who has legal and physical custody of the child can be one of the most difficult aspects of the process. Michelle Paul works to:

• Advocate for joint or sole custody arrangements that reflect your child’s needs and your parental rights.
• Negotiate custody agreements or litigate when necessary to protect your role as a parent.
• Help you understand your rights and responsibilities under California custody laws.

Child Visitation

If one parent is granted primary custody, visitation ensures the other parent maintains a meaningful relationship with the child. Michelle helps clients:

• Create structured visitation schedules that work for both parents and support a child’s stability.
• Enforce or modify visitation orders when circumstances change.
• Resolve disputes when visitation rights are being unfairly denied.

Child Support

Child support is designed to provide financial stability for children after a separation or divorce. Michelle Paul helps clients:

• Calculate appropriate support based on California guidelines.
• Ensure support orders are fair and based on accurate financial information.
• Modify existing child support arrangements due to job changes, custody updates, or other significant life changes.
