Child Custody
Because as parents we love our children so much and want to protect them, the possession and access to children is often the most contentious issue in a divorce. Sometimes parents contest custody because it is in the child’s best interest, while other times a parent may use child custody to continue fighting with their soon-to-be ex-spouse. Whether you are seeking a divorce and want to ensure your children receive the best possible parental care, or you are a single parent seeking to protect your own parental rights, our Amarillo, Texas child custody lawyers can help.
If you are currently facing a child custody battle, you need an experienced lawyer on your side. Whether your case is being litigated in court or is being resolved using mediation, you can count on our Amarillo child custody lawyers to help you and your children through this challenging time in your lives.
Texas has two basic types of child custody under the Texas Family Code: joint managing conservatorships and sole managing conservatorships. These arrangements are commonly referred to as joint custody and sole custody in other states, and they refer to legal rather than physical custody of a child. Child custody will involve a determination of who makes decisions on the child’s behalf. In addition, prior to the entry of final custody orders, temporary custody is usually awarded pending the final divorce decree.
Our Amarillo custody lawyers handle all aspects of child custody proceedings, including:
- Adoption
- Child Support
- Custody Modification
- Enforcement Action
- Paternity
- Temporary Restraining Order
- Termination of Parental Rights
- Visitation
