The Law Office of Lauren The Lawyer, PLLC

In Texas, child custody matters are split into two distinct sets of problems: conservatorship (custody) and possession and access (visitation). There are two conservatorship choices available in Texas: Sole Managing Conservator and Joint Managing Conservator. In a Sole Managing Conservator arrangement, one parent makes the majority of the decisions for the child. This includes decisions about education, healthcare, extracurricular activities, and the child's primary residence. A Joint Managing Conservator arrangement provides both parents with an equal say in making significant decisions for their offspring. When determining the variety of rights and duties, the court will make a decision based on the "best interest of the child.” Possession and access refers to the schedule that the parent who does not have custody uses to see the child. In Texas, there are standard possession and access periods available. Parents may also agree to a different possession and access schedule in Texas. The most critical consideration for the court in determining possession and access is the best interest of the child. Parents who cannot decide on possession and access schedules must attend a hearing where the court will decide. Remember that all custody hearings are based on the "best interest of the child" criterion.
