Understanding Custody (Conservatorship) in Texas
Conservatorship is the legal term for child custody in Texas. Usually, courts give parents one or both of the following responsibilities:
- Managing Conservator – The parent who makes important choices regarding the welfare of the child
- Possessory Conservator – The parent with visitation or access rights
Included in custody are:
- Physical Custody – Where the child primarily resides
- Legal Custody – Who has the authority to make important decisions about the child’s upbringing
Our lawyers put a lot of effort into creating custody agreements that respect Texas law and promote the long-term welfare of your child.

What Somerset Courts Consider in Custody Cases
When deciding on custody arrangements, Somerset family courts consider a number of important factors, including:
- The emotional bond between each parent and their child
- The readiness of each parent to foster a bond with the other
- Both parents’ physical and emotional well-being
- Any past history of substance abuse, neglect, or domestic violence
- The capacity of parents to successfully co-parent and communicate
- The preferences of the child (if old enough and mature enough)
We will guide you through these considerations and fight for a custody arrangement that upholds your essential parental role while safeguarding your child’s best interests.
