Child Custody Lawyer in Flower Mound

Committed to Preserving Your Family's Best Interests

The state of Texas uses unique terms when referring to child custody, but the basis of custody arrangements in the state are similar to those made elsewhere in the country. Whether or not the court gets involved depends on you and your former spouse's ability to get along.

We understand that custody decisions are often made more difficult by personal desires. In your quest to achieve a favorable outcome, turn to the firm that understands family law better than most. Our family law child custody lawyer has been representing Flower Mound residents for years and never shies away from defending your rights.

There are two broad custody categories – physical and legal. Physical determines where the child lives and spends their time, while legal applies to each parent's ability to make decisions for their child. The court can assign joint custody, which means that the parents share time with the child and make decisions together, sole custody, which means that one parent gets both physical and legal custody, or split custody.

The following factors are considered with establishing custody orders:

• The parents willingness to work together
• The child's best interests
• Each parent's financial resources
• The age and number of children
• Where each parent lives
• The child's relationships with the parents

More than anything, the court seeks to ensure that the child's best interests are upheld at all times. Your desires for your child may look different than the court's opinion and going without legal assistance can be risky.
