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 Lewisville 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.
