Why Custody Representation Matters

Child custody cases require a detailed understanding of Texas family law, local court procedures, and the factors that courts consider when determining custody arrangements. Skilled legal representation enables your case to be presented clearly, your parental rights to be protected, and your child’s well-being to remain the primary focus.

Parenting Plans & Court Approval

Under Texas law, a parenting plan is a written document that outlines how parents will share rights and responsibilities for their child, including conservatorship, possession, access schedules, and decision-making authority. Parents are encouraged to work together to create a mutually agreeable parenting plan, which can then be submitted to the court for approval.

If parents cannot agree on custody and visitation arrangements, the court may require mediation before intervening to make a decision. Mediation allows both parents to negotiate in a structured setting with a neutral professional, potentially avoiding prolonged litigation.

Even when mediation is not required, our firm can help you devise a comprehensive plan that protects your parental rights while maximizing stability for your child.

Types of Custody Arrangements

Texas courts generally consider two main types of custody:

Conservatorship. The legal right to make decisions affecting a child’s upbringing, including education, health care, and religion.
Possession and access. The schedule and terms for the child’s time spent with each parent, often referred to as visitation or parenting time.

The Texas courts’ overarching policy on child custody is to prioritize the child’s best interests in all custody matters. Thus, all custody arrangements sought by parents should be based on this guideline.
