Sole
Sole custody includes both legal and physical custody which means the child lives primarily with one parent who will make major decisions for the child. Situations such as violence, substance abuse, and discord may require sole custody.
Joint
Joint custody can be a possible solution for both parents who want as much time as possible with their children. Both parents will share the responsibility of major decision-making for their children. The child’s relationship with their parents, the financial status of the parents, the parents’ work schedules, and the child’s desires will all be considered in joint custody cases.
Visitation
A Texas child custody case usually involves designating one parent as the custodial “primary parent.” The primary residence of the child is with the custodial parent, while the non-custodial parent is ordered a visitation schedule. The needs and best interests if the child will be considered when determining this parenting plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can custody orders be changed after the divorce is final?
Yes. Custody orders can be modified if there’s been a significant change in circumstances—such as relocation, a new job schedule, or concerns about a child’s wellbeing. The court must approve any changes to make them legally binding.
If your current custody plan no longer works, contact Schneider Law Firm to explore your options for modification.
What should I do if the other parent is violating our custody agreement?
If the other parent is not following the court-ordered custody or visitation schedule, you have legal options. The court can enforce the order and may impose penalties or modify the agreement if violations continue.
Don’t wait for things to escalate—let Schneider Law Firm help you enforce your custody rights and protect your child’s stability.
