Bay City child custody lawyer Whitney L. Thompson releases a new article (https://www.wthompsonlaw.com/child-custody/) explaining the child custody process in Texas. The lawyer mentions that child custody battles can be difficult and emotionally draining for everyone involved. Whether it’s a divorcing parent, a single parent, or a grandparent, the challenges that come with child custody can be complicated.
“Understandably, many find the process of obtaining child custody and child support daunting. You might wonder what factors will affect your custody rights and how the legal system will decide your case. A well-versed child custody lawyer can walk you through the process step-by-step,” says the Bay City child custody attorney.
The lawyer mentions that in Texas, the term child custody is legally called a “conservatorship”. Child custody and support are decided for the primary benefit of the child. Each case of child custody is different. Depending on the parties involved, parents may be able to come to a solution outside the court. If custody arrangements are not able to be solved outside the court, the parents may have to bring the battle to a courtroom.
Attorney Whitney L. Thompson explains that there are generally two types of custody arrangements in Houston, Texas. These are joint managing conservatorship and sole managing conservatorship. Joint conservatorship occurs when two parties are allowed to participate in parental rights and duties. One party may have a greater share of responsibilities.
According to the estate attorney, “Keep in mind that Texas law presumes that both parents should be joint managing conservators. This is believed to be in the best interests of children. In these arrangements, we can help you decide on visitation rights and schedules. On the other hand, a sole managing conservatorship occurs when only one party is allowed to participate in parental rights and duties.”
Lastly, the lawyer emphasizes the importance of having a skilled probate attorney when dealing with matters involving the probate process. Having an experienced estate attorney may be able to help an individual understand their rights and help them prepare for the future of their loved ones.
