Dallas Child Custody and Support Law

Family Law FAQs

Following a divorce or suit involving children, raising children in separate homes is often a conflict for the parents. Custody must be addressed whether it be amicably decided or a decision of the Court. Most times, the parents are named Joint Managing Conservators and usually share the rights and duties associated with raising children.

As with conservatorship, visitation is often a conflict for parents as well. Sometimes the parties involved can reach an agreement regarding visitation, but, the assistance of the Court is sometimes needed as well. Generally, the Court wants a joint child-rearing plan with the residence of the child being practical and where the children can flourish. The focus remains the same, though, what is in the best interest of the children.

Not only are there decisions to be made regarding conservatorship and visitation, but each parent has a financial obligation to support their children. A child support order may be entered during the pendency of or after the suit is finalized. Either parent may be ordered to pay support for the children - it depends on the custody arrangement.
