In Texas, many people continue to be confused by the child custody process. Some clients start the process with the belief that they want full custody,even though there is no such thing under Texas law. In fact, state statutes do not even use the term custody when discussing parent-child
relationships, but instead the term conservatorship.
Essentially, conservatorships in Texas can be broken down into two distinct parts: managing and possessory. As their names imply, managing conservatorships refers to a parent’s right to make important life decisions for a child ― such as those related to schooling, medical care and religion ― while possessory refers to the right to access or visitation with a child.
Unless there is evidence of family violence or some risk to the child, Texas courts will typically presume that both parents should be appointed as joint managing conservators. However, just because parents are joint conservators does not mean they will share equal time or possession with the child. Indeed, in most cases, Texas courts will name only one parent as the primary caretaker of the child ― meaning he or she is able to determine the primary residence of the child ― and the other as the noncustodial parent.
The most important thing to remember in any child custody dispute in Texas is that the best interests of the child are the primary consideration. So, when deciding issues of conservatorship, possession or access, courts will examine many factors, including the child’s preferences as well as the parental abilities of the individuals seeking custody, just to name a few. In addition, you must keep in mind that once a child custody determination is made, it is not set in stone. For example, if circumstances change, you may be able to request a modification to an existing child custody order.
