How is Child Custody Determined in Texas?
In contested divorces, child custody is often decided by the judge instead of the parents. In cases such as these, it is important to have an experienced and aggressive Flower Mound family law attorney to fight for you and for your child's best interest. The court makes custody decisions based on the best interest of the child, so you will need to prove that the child's best interests lie with your having custody. Some factors that the judge will consider include:
- Which parent can provide for the child's physical and emotional needs
- Which parent provides a safe environment for the child (both physically and emotionally)
- The stability of each parent's home
- How the parents cooperate with each other
- Which parent has primarily cared for the child beforehand
- The child's preference (the judge might consider this if the child is 12 years or older)
- Whether or not there are siblings
- The abilities of each parent
- Any history of abuse or domestic violence
Haugen Law Firm, P.C. can help you strategize the best way to make such an argument and win the custody order that you and your child need.

"Salvaged My Situation"After meeting with Mr. Haugen, I felt he was honest, qualified and had a commitment to my best interest, which my previous attorney failed to do. Mr. Haugen was up against salvaging my situation my previous attorney made a mess of. Mr. Haugen is an honest and extremely competent attorney who is tough, yet remains calm and collected. He salvaged the mess I was in and helped me to move on. For that I greatly appreciate his service.

"I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process."I researched and wanted a lawyer familiar with military families and the Haugen Law Firm was it! I had so many different factors in my divorce and child custody, and you truly get what you pay for. I am so thankful to have found them and for all the guidance and help through the process. I cannot recommend Connor and Delaney more! This is already a stressful situation and to be able to have a team to help me better understand the ins and outs of the legal tidbits and process helped. It was well worth the cost and even though it feels expensive I know without a doubt that my divorce and custody was done right, and the paperwork shows it. They helped me think of things a regular divorce lawyer wouldn't know due to being a military family. If I need legal help again, I will be coming back for sure! I cannot thank them enough for all their support and patience with me during the process with all of my questions and walking me through the long process.
