Sugar Land, Fort Bend Child Custody Lawyer

Child custody is a term used by lawyers and the courts when describing which parent will have the primary responsibility of raising a child.

In Texas, there are two types of child custody, referred to as sole managing conservatorship and joint managing conservatorship. The First is a situation where one parent makes all the important decisions regarding the child including where the child lives and goes to school.

Joint managing conservatorship is a situation where both parents share decisions regarding the child.

The type of child custody is decided by the court based upon what is determined as the child's best interest. In doing so the court will consider such things as stability of the parents and the parents track record of being involved in the child's life.

Is you find yourself facing a child custody issue during your divorce or at a subsequent time, your choice of a trusted family law attorney will be the first decision you should make.
