“Custody” is the term often used in order to describe the person with the right to determine the child’s primary residence and the person with the right to collect child support payments on behalf of the child. This person is often referred to as the primary conservator. There is no presumption in Texas based solely on the marital status or sex of the parties when it comes to questions of conservatorship and possession of and/or access to the child.  The Court considers each party’s qualifications.
            It is the public policy of the State of Texas in most cases for children to have “frequent and continuing contact” with their parents. The Court’s main focus will be the “best interest of the child” when determining issues of support, custody and/or visitation. Call today to discuss your situation with a family law attorney.
