De Facto Parent Representation in Folsom
Understanding De Facto Parent Status
Courts in California recognize de facto parents as individuals who have assumed the duty of a parent by caring for a child’s physical need and psychological need for care and affection for an extended period of time.
You may be granted de facto parent status if:
- You have a psychological bond with the child
- You have performed the role of a parent to the child for a substantial amount of time
- You have information about the child that other parties do not
If you are seeking de facto parent status, having capable legal counsel on your side can only bolster your case. At the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C., we offer de facto parent representation in Folsom and Northern California for individuals who have stepped in and protected a child in need.
Contact us online or at (916) 794-4576 to learn more about the benefits of establishing de facto parent status.
Your Rights and Responsibilities as a De Facto Parent
If the court finds sufficient evidence in favor of you obtaining de facto parent status, they will grant you the title and the rights that come along with it.
As a de facto parent, you may:
- Participate in juvenile dependency court proceedings
- Present evidence to promote the child’s best interests in your care
- Have a say in the child’s care and placement
As a de facto parent, you have much more sway in how the child is cared for. You will be better positioned to remove the child from unsafe conditions, make certain decisions on the child’s behalf, and provide a better life for the child.
At the Law Office of Tiffany L. Andrews, P.C., we have extensive experience representing the interests of children and hopeful de facto parents. We can ensure that the process goes smoothly while helping you seek a favorable outcome.
Call (916) 794-4576 to get started on your case.

“Very Helpful and Knowledgeable”
Tiffany gave me practical advice concerning a child welfare case in Solana County, CA. She understands California dependency law and was available to answer my question on short notice. I highly recommend her.- Christopher -
“I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
It is true that divorce is the most trying time anyone will ever experience. Having said that, Tiffany has been an ally in the onslaught of negativity. My case has been VERY complicated and has involved domestic violence. She has worked to affect a positive outcome for me and my son. While this case is not over, and the outcome is still uncertain, I am certain that I am in the best hands possible with her as my attorney. I would highly recommend her to anyone!- Previous Client -
“Amazing Family Law Attorney!”
I would strongly recommend Mrs. Andrews for any family law issues. She was my attorney for over a year. In that time she was focused and diligent. Not once did any paperwork get rejected for clerical errors. Mrs. Andrews worked tirelessly and made it a point to conduct my case in the most cost-effective manner possible for me.- Chad -
“Excellent Attorney!”
Tiffany and her office have been Great. I am going through a difficult divorce. So far she has been there for me when I have concerns. In court, she has brought her A+ game. She is very detailed. Tiffany has been able to get full standard on alimony, which is what I wanted. And lawyer fees. For the first time in a long time, I am hopeful of a positive outcome.- Previous Client -
“Got my life back, so awesome!”
This lady knows her stuff! She is quick and on top of the case at hand. When we were waiting for my very late (now) ex to show up for court, she was furiously working and we got the case settled, done, over! She also tells it like it is. I learned so much from her and her very courteous staff. If I was freaking out a bit, they never lost their cool. Thank you so much for everything!- Lyn -
“This Office is Great!”
I met with Brenda and Karen and both were very professional and gave excellent customer service. They were clear, concise and answered all of my questions. I came out of that office feeling like I was on the right footing and knew I had a powerful group behind me if I need it. I would recommend everybody!- James -
“Attorney With Compassion”
Working with Tiffani Andrews Law office was a godsend. After struggling for a bit to get legal assistance, I found Brenda. She showed a great deal of empathy to me as I was unfamiliar with the California legal process, and had the need to get legal assistance as soon as possible for a divorce and child custody case. Her guidance and handoff to Stephanie could not have been more helpful and beneficial. I would recommend this office for all the obvious reasons, but also for their efficiency and clear value for the client. Tiffani Andrews Law has my complete trust.- Mary -
“Very Professional and Devoted Attorney”
My case was very unique in the way I had a paralegal and 1 other attorney represent me prior to meeting Tiffany Andrews. In the entire 4 years, I have been dealing with divorce/custody I made more headway in a matter of months after hiring her to represent me. She was very caring and very professional. She made each court hearing a very calm controlled environment for me. She heard what I to say and made a world of difference in my life as well as my children.- Annette
