Understanding Texas Child Custody
Attorney Jeff Gilbert provides attentive and experienced legal help as he guides you through child custody determinations. Whether you and the other parent agree on custody arrangements or are involved in a custody battle, our law firm can give your case the attention and care you - and your children - deserve.
The courts adhere to the best interests of the children and believe the best interest of the children generally involves joint custody. Joint legal custody refers to religion, education, health care and other factors included in making decisions about how the children are raised. Physical custody refers to where the children will live. The children live with the primary custodial parent, and the noncustodial parent has visitation.
In some situations, it may be in the best interests of the children for one parent to have sole custody.
Our law firm understands each family is different, and we adjust our strategies accordingly. We consistently fight for the best possible outcome for you and your kids.
Child Custody Modifications
In the months and years after your divorce has been finalized, it may be necessary to change initial determinations of child custody. For example, if you are the primary custodial parent and wish to move away to another state because of your career, a child custody modification may be granted. It must be shown that the relocation is in the best interests of the children. The courts will need proof that there has been a change of circumstance, that the change is significant and that granting the modification is in the best interests of the children.
