Guidance with child custody arrangements in Sugar Land, Texas

Texas law refers to child custody formally as conservatorship. What people generally call legal custody is officially known in Texas as a managing conservatorship. A parent who has the authority to make decisions for the child’s health and welfare is a managing conservator. Whether and when your child lives in your home is determined under a standard possession order. A court-approved parenting plan could include the following arrangements:

• Joint managing conservatorship — The parents share decision-making authority for the child’s health, education, and welfare. In this arrangement, parents often share physical custody of the child.
• Sole managing conservatorship — Decision-making authority resides with one parent who usually has sole physical custody of the child.
• Possessory conservatorship — When one parent is named sole managing conservator, the other parent has limited possession and access to the child as a possessory conservator. The order of possession sets out a schedule for visitation. The possessory conservator usually pays child support to the managing conservator.

The court considers numerous factors when deciding what custody arrangement serves the best interests of your child. As your advocate, we bring to the court’s attention all pertinent facts so the judge can make a fully informed decision based on your true circumstances.
