The Choices You Must Make in Lewisville Child Custody Matters

You and your future ex need to make various decisions about your children's upbringing, whether you are an unwed couple separating or a married couple getting a divorce. A managing conservatorship, once known as legal custody, can be sole or joint. This designation authorizes one or both parents to make important decisions for their children, such as healthcare, religion, education, and extracurricular activities. Possessory conservatorship and access were once called physical custody and visitation. These arrangements determine where your children will live and when they will spend time with each parent. Unmarried fathers may need to establish legal paternity to gain parental rights for their children.

You may want to share equal time with your kids, or you might think it best for the children to live primarily with one of you. In other cases, such as those involving domestic violence or parental incarceration, you might want to restrict your co-parent's access to the child. There is no single solution that addresses every family's needs. We will discuss important personal details with you to develop a sound custody plan, such as your:

• Financial situation
• Living situation, location, and lifestyle
• Ability to care for your children
• Relationship with your kids
• Work schedule

Children with special needs have unique requirements, and we need to address them with your customized custody plans. If your children are mature and old enough, their wishes may also be considered. Developing a tailored parenting plan that addresses your specific circumstances is absolutely necessary for your children's well-being.

Resolving Lewisville, TX Child Custody Disputes

Many couples try to find common ground to resolve child custody disagreements amicably. If both of you are willing to compromise and work together, we can facilitate negotiations.

Modifying and Enforcing Texas Child Custody Orders

When your parenting plan is accepted by the court, it becomes a court order. That means there are penalties for violating your orders, and that any changes need to be handled through a formal modification request. Do not make the mistake of entering into an informal agreement with your co-parent. Instead, let us help you go through the proper channels.
