Frisco Child Custody Attorney

Frisco Child Custody Lawyers

Our Texas Family Code presumes that parents will have joint custody or Joint Managing Conservatorship. However, one parent is usually given the exclusive right to determine the primary residence of the children which means determine where the child will live. The other parent is usually given what is referred to as a Standard Possession Order and is obligated to pay child support. Now, there are many factors that go into determining which parent is awarded what rights and what obligations. Often, we can negotiate or obtain in court a final order that is customized to each parent's needs and desires and is not some cookie cutter order designed to fit all. In addition, there is no presumption that moms will automatically win child custody and we have successfully won child custody for many dads in the past. This experience helps us not only in representing fathers in custody fights but also mothers who are fighting for custody as well. Another issue often litigated is that of a domicile restriction. There is a strong presumption that even if one parent has child custody that the they will be limited to a geographical area. Some of our clients want a small restriction – like a school district or even a neighborhood. Others want no restriction whatsoever. Our Frisco based Family Law Firm is experienced in handling all types of domicile restriction cases. Another type of custody fight and one that is more a sign of our times is when Grandparents or other family members are forced to seek custody of the children because the parents are not fit. We handle these types of cases as well.

If you are being denied visitation or are experiencing issues with the custody and visitation terms of your divorce decree, we can help you with enforcement. Courts will enforce visitation schedules even if the parent denied visitation owes child support.
