Frequently Asked Questions
How is child custody decided in a Texas divorce?
In Texas, child custody is referred to as “conservatorship.” Courts prioritize the best interest of the child and typically favor joint custody unless there are concerns about a parent’s ability to provide a safe and stable environment. Factors like the child’s needs, each parent’s involvement, and the ability to co-parent are all considered.
If custody is a concern, our team at Schneider Law Firm can help you protect your parental rights from day one.
Will I have to pay or receive child support after divorce?
In most cases, yes. Texas uses a standard formula based on the paying parent’s income and the number of children. Even if custody is shared, child support may still apply to ensure the child’s needs are met. The court can also factor in medical costs, education expenses, and special needs.
Can we create our own parenting plan?
Yes, and in fact, it’s encouraged. If both parents can agree on a parenting plan—including custody, visitation, holidays, and decision-making—it can be submitted to the court for approval. The plan must be in the child’s best interest and meet legal standards.
Need help drafting a fair and enforceable parenting plan? Schneider Law Firm can guide you through every step.
