San Diego Child Custody Attorney
Protecting What Matters Most — Your Children
Custody decisions shape your child’s future and your role as a parent. Whether you’re establishing a parenting plan, modifying an existing order, or dealing with a high-conflict custody situation, Annis & Vercollone is here to help. We represent parents throughout
San Diego County, offering strategic legal guidance grounded in California family law and real-world experience.
Why Custody Representation Matters
Your relationship with your child is too important to leave to chance. Family courts consider many factors when awarding custody and visitation — and having the right legal representation can make all the difference. As a
Certified Family Law Specialist, James R. Vercollone brings deep expertise to these emotionally charged cases, helping clients protect their parental rights and prioritize the best interests of the child.

Focused Strategy. Clear Counsel. Real Results.
We take a measured, child-centered approach to custody cases — balancing assertive advocacy with calm, strategic thinking. Whether your case involves a parenting agreement, relocation issue, or custody litigation, we build a plan that supports your goals and helps avoid unnecessary conflict.
What We Handle
Initial Custody & Visitation Orders
We help parents establish parenting time, decision-making authority, and day-to-day logistics through enforceable court orders.
Modification of Existing Orders
If your family’s needs or circumstances change, we guide you through the legal process to update your custody arrangements.
Move-Away & Relocation Cases
We represent parents seeking — or opposing — a move that would affect current custody or visitation rights.

From mediation to full hearings, we represent clients in high-conflict cases involving unfit parenting claims, alienation, or enforcement issues.
