Guidance Legacy and Family Law
Child Custody
Texas law supports joint custody arrangements where both parents share decisions. Courts approve or modify custody based on the child’s best interests.
Texas parents have various options when it comes to child custody. Sole custody means the child lives with the parent who makes all the decisions for the child and the other parent has visitation. Joint custody is when the child lives with one parent, but both parents have an equal say in making decisions for the child. Texas law prefers joint custody appointments for both parents to make decisions together in the child’s best interest. Additionally, only the courts can change existing child custody agreements or orders. If there is a need to modify child custody, all necessary paperwork must be filed with the family courts, and a court hearing must be scheduled.
Custody issues may arise, and sometimes the original custody agreement no longer works, especially when the child gets older or the parents disagree on decisions for the child. In some situations, the non-custodial parent may seek a change in custody by filing for sole custody of the child. When custody disputes or issues arise, it is best to hire a family law attorney to help. The attorneys at Guidance Legacy and Family Law PLLC are prepared to help you with your child custody case.
