Frequently AskedLegal Custody Questions
Can a child choose who to live with in Texas?
Children 12 and older may express a preference, but the judge still decides based on the child’s best interests.
What is Sole Custody?
Sole Custody refers to a situation where you or your co-parent are given exclusive decision-making authority when it comes to specific areas of your child’s life. This is done to exclusion of the other parent. This does not mean the parent who does not have sole custody of the child will not have visitation rights. Sole custody relates to conservatorship rights and duties as opposed to possession, access or visitation.
What is Joint Custody?
Joint custody refers to when you and your co-parent share in decision making authority in relation to your child. Examples of this shared decision-making authority are the rights to consent to medical treatment, psychiatric treatment, to represent your child in legal actions, make decisions regarding their education and the right to services and earnings of your child. It is presumed that in a Texas family law case it is in the best interests of your child that you and your co-parent have joint custody of him or her.
What is a Custody Schedule?
When you and your co-parent create a custody schedule for your child then you are agreeing to divide your child’s time between the two of you. Each day of the year is accounted for in a custody schedule. In many cases this is known as a Possession Order. Typical visitation for a non-primary conservator looks like first, third and fifth weekends of each month in addition to extended periods of possession in the summer and alternating holidays with the primary conservator.
Can I make changes to my Child Custody Agreement?
Changes can be made after an initial child custody agreement. This is otherwise known as a Child Custody Modification. A modification can be granted by a family court judge if:
- there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances for a parent or child since the prior order was issued and
- the requested modification is in the best interests of your child.
Examples of child custody related matters that can be modified include child support, possession orders and conservatorship rights and duties.
