Frequently Asked Questions
How do Texas courts decide child custody in Kendall County?
Texas courts base custody decisions on the best interest of the child, considering factors like each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, the child’s relationship with each parent, and any history of family violence or substance abuse.
What’s the difference between sole and joint custody in Texas?
Texas law refers to custody as conservatorship. Joint managing conservatorship means both parents share rights and duties for the child, while sole managing conservatorship gives one parent primary decision-making authority. Joint conservatorship is the more common outcome, but the specific rights awarded can vary case by case.
Can a custody order be modified after it’s finalized?
Yes. Texas allows modifications when there’s been a material and substantial change in circumstances since the last order, such as a parent relocating, a change in the child’s needs, or safety concerns. We can help determine whether your situation qualifies.
Does a child get to choose which parent they live with?
Once a child turns 12, the court may consider their preference, but it isn’t the deciding factor. Judges weigh the child’s wishes alongside the overall best-interest standard and other evidence in the case.
How much does a child custody attorney cost in Kendall County?
Costs vary depending on whether the case is contested and how complex the underlying issues are. We offer a free consultation to review your situation and provide clear, upfront guidance on fees before you commit to representation.
How long does a child custody case take in Texas?
Uncontested cases or modifications with agreement between parents can move relatively quickly, while contested custody disputes involving hearings and evidence can take several months to resolve.
