Experienced Child Custody Attorneys in Conroe, Texas
Child custody disputes can be emotionally challenging and legally complex. For families in Conroe, Texas, understanding the nuances of Texas child custody law is essential to protecting the best interests of your child. At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we’re committed to guiding families through the custody process with compassion and expertise.
Understanding Child Custody in Texas
Texas law prioritizes the best interests of the child in all custody decisions. Custody, officially referred to as “conservatorship,” can be categorized into two types:
1. Joint Managing Conservatorship (JMC)
Both parents share decision-making responsibilities, including decisions about education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. This arrangement is common unless one parent poses a risk to the child’s welfare.
2. Sole Managing Conservatorship (SMC)
One parent is granted the exclusive right to make significant decisions for the child. This is typically awarded when the other parent is deemed unfit or unable to fulfill their responsibilities.
Additionally, physical custody (possession and access) determines where the child lives and the visitation schedule.
We offer comprehensive family law and estate planning services including but not limited to the following:
Factors Courts Consider in Custody Cases
When determining custody arrangements, Texas courts evaluate several factors, including:
- The child’s emotional and physical needs
- Each parent’s ability to meet the child’s needs
- The child’s preferences (if they are 12 years or older)
- Any history of domestic violence or abuse
- The stability of each parent’s home environment
- The involvement of each parent in the child’s life
At the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, we work tirelessly to present a compelling case that aligns with your child’s best interests.
