"He over-delivered and we couldn't be happier."
Tyler was Awesome! He kept in contact, answering emails and any questions we had. He let us know the process, and what to expect. He wasn't wrong. He even negotiated with my ex since she was without attorney and dealt with all the crazy with no complaints. His staff was also very professional and friendly, always helpful. I really liked that he had set pricing, not by the hour, so that at each stage we knew what the bill was going to be. That may not work in every case, but for ours it was great.

The Different Types of Conservatorships in Child Custody Cases

Texas law establishes that mothers and fathers have the same rights and responsibilities. It’s a relatively fair law when it comes to parental roles and duties in relation to child custody or conservatorship.

For a better understanding of the ways you can look after your child after divorce, our child custody lawyers in Cleburne, TX will walk you through two types of conservatorship: managing and possessory.

Managing Conservatorship

Parents who are named managing conservators essentially enjoy all the rights and responsibilities of a parent. They have the legal right to manage the child’s affairs. There’s no question about their right to access and their possession of the child.

Possessory Conservatorship

Possessory conservators are granted the right of access to the child under a defined schedule. These visitation rights, however, do not give them the full legal rights to the child in the same way that managing conservators do.

The court typically appoints a parent as a managing or possessory conservatorship role. They may choose not to if they find that such an appointment endangers the child’s physical or emotional welfare. After all, the overall objective of child custody cases is to look after the child’s best interests.

Additionally, there are rare but possible instances wherein the court may severely restrict or terminate a parent’s right to access and maintain possession of their child. These circumstances occur when there is a threat of physical danger or endangerment to the child. (Texas Family Code Sec. 153.006. Appointment of Conservator)

Joint managing conservatorship means that both parents share the rights and responsibilities of a managing conservator. One parent will be awarded the primary conservatorship, meaning they can designate the child’s primary residence. Meanwhile, the other parent will be granted a visitation schedule.

Sole managing conservatorship, on the other hand, only grants one parent the full rights and responsibilities of a managing conservatorship. The other parent still has access and possession rights to the child.

Texas law presumes that it’s in the best interest of the child to name both parents as joint conservators. But with sufficient evidence that one or both parents aren’t suitable for the designation, the court may come up with a different decision or change their ruling.

On a related note, the court will give a child maintenance order after reviewing the situation of the custodial and non-custodial parents. Our child custody attorneys in Cleburne, TX can help you with custody, visitation, and maintenance concerns. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.
