Introduction

Welcome to Blair Patricia Law Firm, a leading legal firm specializing in child custody cases in Texas. With our decades of experience, we understand the complexities involved in managing and possessory conservatorships. In this comprehensive guide, we will explore the various aspects of Texas child custody laws and provide valuable insights to help you navigate through this challenging process.

Understanding Child Custody in Texas

When it comes to child custody, Texas follows what is known as the "best interest of the child" standard. The court's primary consideration is the child's physical and emotional well-being, ensuring their safety, and promoting a stable environment.

1. Types of Conservatorships

In Texas, child custody is referred to as conservatorship. There are two primary types of conservatorships:

• Managing Conservatorship: This refers to the parent who has the right to make important decisions regarding the child's upbringing, such as education, healthcare, and religious matters.
• Possessory Conservatorship: This refers to the parent with whom the child primarily resides, granting them physical possession and access to the child when it's not the other parent's allotted time.

2. Factors Considered in Custody Determination

When determining child custody arrangements, Texas courts consider various factors, including:

• The child's preferences (if they are old enough to express them)
• Each parent's ability to provide for the child's physical and emotional needs
• The child's relationship with each parent and other significant individuals in their life
• Any history of domestic violence or substance abuse by either parent
• The proximity of the parents' homes to facilitate visitation

3. Creating a Parenting Plan

To establish custody arrangements, Texas encourages parents to develop a parenting plan that outlines the roles and responsibilities of each parent. This plan should address important aspects like the child's schedule, decision-making authority, and the process for resolving conflicts.
