Understanding Child Custody

Child custody refers to the legal arrangement determining where children live and who makes important decisions for them. 

There are two primary types of custody: 

Physical Custody
This form grants one parent the right to have the child live with them.

Legal Custody
This custody allows one or both parents to make decisions about the child's upbringing, including education and health care.

In Texas, several factors influence custody decisions. Courts prioritize the child's best interests and consider each parent's ability to provide a stable environment. Judges also evaluate the child's emotional and physical needs and assess each parent's willingness to support the child's relationship with the other parent. The child's preference could also influence custody, depending on their age and maturity level.

The Child Custody Process

Filing for custody involves several key steps. First, you must complete and submit a custody petition to the court. The court then schedules a hearing date. Next, you must notify the other party, allowing them to respond to the petition. 

The court may require mediation to promote resolution. If mediation fails, parents will present their cases during a court hearing. The judge will review evidence, hear testimonies, and make a decision based on the child's best interests.

The timeline for custody cases can vary widely. Some cases resolve in weeks, but others may extend over several months. Factors affecting the timeline include the case’s complexity, the parents' cooperation, and court schedules.

Documentation plays a crucial role in custody cases. Parents should collect evidence like financial records, communication logs, and witness statements. Strong documentation supports each parent's position and enhances their case in court.

Our Child Custody Services

Our team offers a range of child custody services to support families during challenging times. We provide initial consultations and thorough case evaluations to understand your situation. Then, we can represent you in custody hearings and negotiations, advocating for your rights and your child’s needs. 

We can facilitate mediation services to help parents reach amicable resolutions. Ultimately, we want to foster cooperation between both parties and promote outcomes that benefit the child. When negotiations fail, we can advocate for a fair custody agreement in court.

Additionally, we can assist with modifying existing custody orders. If circumstances change, we help you adjust existing agreements to reflect new realities. We focus on clarity and communication, guiding you through every step of the process.

If the other parent fails to meet their custody obligations, we are there to help with enforcement, too.
