Understanding Conservatorship in Texas
In Texas, the legal term for custody is “conservatorship.” Parents are appointed as either:
- Managing Conservator (responsible for decision-making)
- Possessory Conservator (responsible for visitation or possession)
Texas courts may also designate:
- Sole Managing Conservatorship
- Joint Managing Conservatorship
We can help you understand these legal terms and how they apply to your case.
Here is a detailed video explanation:
Types of Child Custody Arrangements
Depending on your family’s needs, a Texas court may order one of the following:
- Joint Custody: Both parents share decision-making and/or physical custody
- Sole Custody: One parent holds primary responsibility
- Legal Custody: Focuses on the right to make decisions about education, healthcare, etc.
- Physical Custody: Determines where the child primarily resides
In some cases, courts may approve joint legal or physical custody to promote balanced involvement from both parents.
Focus on the Best Interests of the Child
The court always prioritizes what is in the child’s best interest, considering factors such as:
- The child’s bond with each parent
- The willingness of each parent to foster a relationship with the other
- Each parent’s mental, emotional, and physical health
- History of substance abuse or domestic violence
- Proximity of the parents’ residences
- The overall ability to co-parent effectively
Mediation: A Peaceful Path Forward
Texas courts encourage mediation as a first step toward resolving custody issues. Our office provides skilled mediation services to help you and your co-parent develop a workable plan that supports your child’s well-being and avoids unnecessary courtroom conflict.
