Child Custody in Texas
In Texas, child custody is presumed to be awarded to both parents in joint custody. In joint custody, parents have equal rights, privileges, and duties of raising the child. However, they do not necessarily have equal possession of a child.
Our attorneys can explain the various child custody options available, which may include a joint managing conservatorship or a sole managing conservatorship. Depending on the specifics of your case, we can help you determine a child custody arrangement that is best for your family.
