Understanding Custody and Conservatorship in Texas
In Texas, conservatorship is the legal term for “custody.” A conservator is a parent who has both legal rights and obligations regarding a child. The state recognizes a number of conservatorship types, including:
- Managing Conservator
- Possessory Conservator
- Sole Managing Conservator
- Joint Managing Conservator
Furthermore, custody can be divided into:
- Legal Custody: The power to make decisions regarding healthcare, education, religion, and other matters.
- Physical Custody: The child’s primary residence
Depending on what is best for the child, the court may award joint legal or physical custody, requiring both parents to divide parenting duties and time.
