Do You Really Need A Lawyer For Child Custody In Texas?

Specific laws related to parental rights and duties have been set forth in the Texas Family Code and include the right to make decisions about where the child lives, education, medical care and religious affiliation, among others. That is why it is important to hire a reputable child custody lawyer with experience handling child custody negotiations to help you fight for the rights you want.

How Does Texas Award Child Custody?

According to state law, child custody is always awarded in the best interests of the child, and the child’s well-being is always taken into consideration when determining which parent will receive custody. Family law judges will aim to equally split the care and responsibilities of a child, but some cases may result in sole custody being granted to one parent, and visitation being granted to the other.

When awarding child custody, a judge will consider:

• The responsibilities of raising the child, including the child’s age and health
• The health of the parents
• The income and stability of the parents
• Any criminal history of the parents
• The involvement of the parents’ in the child’s school or extracurricular activities

Non-custodial parents are often granted visitation, and visitation schedules are strictly set by the courts. Visitation may be on a flexible basis, but any modifications to custody agreements or visitation schedules must first be approved by a Texas Family Court.
