Parenting Time And Visitation Lawyer In Berkeley

When parents separate or divorce, determining how time is shared with the children can deeply affect everyone involved. These decisions are not only emotional but also legally significant. Working with a skilled attorney helps ensure your parental rights are protected while prioritizing your child’s best interests.

I am attorney Sunena Sabharwal with over 30 years of experience in family law. In practice since 1990, I have represented clients at Sabharwal Law Offices in Berkeley, Contra Costa County, Alameda County and Solano County with dedication and discretion. I am a proud graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, and earned my law degree from the University of California College of the Law, San Francisco (formerly UC Hastings). My background includes extensive trial work, from court and jury trials to hearings and complex negotiations.

What Are The Considerations For Parenting Time And Visitation Decisions?

When courts decide on parenting time and visitation, they look at what arrangement best supports the child’s well-being. Factors that influence these decisions include:

  • The child’s age and emotional needs
  • Each parent’s relationship with the child
  • Parental cooperation and communication
  • History of abuse or neglect

Every situation is different, but working with an experienced family law attorney in Berkeley, California, can help you understand how these factors apply to your case, preserving your visitation rights.

What Are The Different Types Of Parenting Time?

Parenting time can take several forms, depending on the family’s circumstances:

  • Reasonable visitation: Offers flexibility and allows parents to set their own schedules
  • Scheduled visitation: Establishes a fixed timetable to provide structure and consistency
  • Supervised visitation: Helps ensure the child’s safety by requiring visits to occur in the presence of an approved supervisor
  • No visitation: Reserved for cases where contact would not be in the child’s best interest

Choosing the right arrangement requires careful thought and, often, the guidance of a qualified lawyer who understands local family law in the East Bay area.
