Will I Have to Fight For Custody and Support?
The nature of child custody and child support has changed in recent years. It is no longer the case that mothers are more or less automatically granted custody and child support. This is good news for fathers who are interested in obtaining primary custody of children in divorce.
This also means that more than ever before, mothers and fathers need the help of an experienced divorce and family law attorney to help resolve any disputes over child custody and support.
A fight is not inevitable, and we will work to find a reasonable solution that avoids the emotional and financial cost of a court battle.
How Do Texas Courts Decide Child Custody and Child Support?
Texas courts generally like stability and consistency when it comes to deciding whether to award joint custody or sole custody of children in a divorce order. Most judges are reluctant to substantially alter a child's current living situation unless it is deemed necessary for the child's well-being.
Under normal circumstances, Texas judges prefer to issue divorce orders that are fair and equitable, meaning that both parents have roughly equal access to the child and share to some extent in decision-making and the financial responsibility.
If joint or shared custody is acceptable to you, then we can help expedite the process to save you time and stress. If you feel that it is important that you be awarded primary conservatorship and guardianship (often known as sole custody), Jack K. Robinson has the experience and proven skill to help you fight for what is best for your child.
