FAQs

Answers to your top questions.

  • How is child custody determined in Texas?

    In Texas, child custody (known legally as "conservatorship") is determined based on what's in the best interests of the child, considering factors such as parental preferences, the child’s needs, and each parent's ability to care for the child.

  • What rights do I have as a non-custodial parent regarding visitation?

    As a non-custodial parent, you have rights to visitation (or "possession" as it's referred to in Texas) that are typically outlined in a Standard Possession Order. These rights ensure you have meaningful time with your children, subject to the court’s determination of what's best for the child.

  • Can custody and visitation arrangements be modified?

    Yes, custody and visitation arrangements can be modified if there's been a material and substantial change in circumstances since the last order. Our child support lawyers in Houston can guide you through the process of seeking a modification.

  • How can a lawyer help with my child custody case?

    A lawyer can provide invaluable assistance by advising you on your legal rights and options, representing you in negotiations or courtroom proceedings, and ensuring all legal documents are filed correctly and timely. Our team can help protect your interests and aim for an outcome that benefits your child.

  • What if my ex-partner isn’t following our agreed visitation schedule?

    If your ex-partner is not adhering to the agreed visitation schedule, there are legal remedies available to enforce the order. We can assist in filing the appropriate motions to ensure compliance and consider adjustments if the current schedule is no longer workable.
