Windsor children have roots. Windsor Unified, the Town Green, youth leagues, neighborhood friendships that started in elementary school—the community infrastructure that makes Windsor a genuinely good place to raise kids also means that a custody arrangement developed for Windsor families needs to account for all of it. A parenting plan imposed by a Sonoma County judge who has never been to Windsor Town Green doesn't do that. A parenting plan developed in mediation by two Windsor parents who have watched their children grow up in this community does. That's the difference Marla Keenan-Rivero's Windsor child custody mediation offers.

Marla's 24 years in Sonoma County family law mean she has a precise understanding of what makes parenting plans work and what causes them to break down. The common failure points are vague language about decision-making, unrealistic schedules that don't account for the children's actual commitments, and provisions that work for today's children but not for children two or three years older. Windsor parenting plans developed in her mediation are built to avoid those failure points: specific enough to be unambiguous, realistic enough to be followed, and forward-looking enough to adapt as the children grow.

Windsor child custody mediation addresses legal custody and physical custody for Windsor families, including school-specific schedules for Windsor Unified, provisions for youth league and extracurricular commitments, holiday and vacation allocation, and co-parenting communication protocols. For Windsor families where both parents are staying in the community and the children have strong ties to their schools and activities, the parenting plan can be tailored to protect exactly those ties. Available at Marla's Santa Rosa office (10 minutes from Windsor) or via secure video.
