Some related terms include:

• Two types of conservators:
  • Managing conservator

  • Sole managing conservator
  • Join managing conservator

Types of Child Custody in Texas

Child custody arrangements in Texas, overseen by our knowledgeable child custody lawyers, can vary depending on the circumstances. Furthermore, the court decides if parents share equal custody post-divorce or if one parent gets majority or sole custody, assessing their relationship with their children and ability to collaborate effectively in joint custody. Different Types of Child Custody:

1. Joint Custody: Both parents share some degree of custody over the children.
2. Sole Custody: One parent has primary custody of the child.
3. Legal Custody: Granted to the parent responsible for making decisions regarding education, medical care, religion, etc.
4. Physical Custody: Designated for the parent with whom the child primarily resides.

In some cases, the court may award joint legal or physical custody, requiring the ex-spouses to equally or proportionally divide their time with the child.

Determining the Best Interests of the Child:

When the court is responsible for determining child custody, it prioritizes the best interests of the child. Factors considered include:

In order to act in the best interests of the child, the court evaluates:

• The child’s relationship with both parents
• The parents’ willingness to support the child’s relationship with the other parent
• The geographical proximity of the parents
• The parents’ history with substance abuse
• The parents’ ability to cooperate
• The health, age, employment, and overall well-being of the parents
