In many child custody cases, neither parent wants to spend less time with their children. However, the reality of divorce is that both parents will need to compromise and split their time with their children. We can help sort through the numerous variables that are often part of such equations so that favorable outcomes can be reached.

The are Two Types of Custody:

  • Sole Managing Conservatorship (Sole Custody): In cases of sole custody, only one of the two parents of a child have the legal authority to make major decisions relating to the child such as issues of health, education, religion, and more. The other parent can only make these decisions if they are in possession of the child.

  • Joint Managing Conservatorship (Joint Custody): Joint managing conservatorship, or joint custody, is the most common form of child custody in which both parent reserve the right to make decisions about the child. However, duties, responsibilities, and time are not always equally divided between both parents. Texas courts make these divisions based on several factors including child preferences and what is considered their best interests.
