Houston Child Custody
In Texas, child custody is called ‘conservatorship,’ The parent considered the ‘conservator’ has the legal right to decide for the child. From where they will stay, which medical facility they should go to, where they will study, to which parent should handle a certain issue, the conservator has full control.
Usually, child custody can be one of two types of custody arrangements in Texas. The first type is when a court appoints both parents to have a degree of access to the child or joint managing conservatorship. The second type of custody is when a court appoints one parent to have sole custody of the child or sole managing conservatorship.
Even if a joint managing conservatorship is ordered, the rights of both parents may not be equally shared depending on the court’s assessment.
In Texas, visitation arrangements or “access and possession” is provided to a person “possessory conservator” who has joint managing conservatorship but does not live with the child. If visitation rights are requested, the person requesting must be able to provide the child with the care they need. The court sets up a visitation plan or a standard possession order.

Determining Child Custody
Under Texas family law, a child has the right to contact their father and mother regularly as it is in their best interests. Because of this, a judge would most often order a joint managing conservatorship unless it can be proven that it will not benefit the child’s physical, mental, and emotional development.
The court will frequently check the health of both parents, as well as their conduct, household stability, and behavior toward their children when determining child custody. The child’s choice will also be considered, especially if they are old enough to choose.
