Child Custody is an extremely emotional and sensitive issue. In child custody cases you must consider your child's needs-both now and in the future. Many things must be considered in child custody cases such as each parent's economic ability to care for the child and the current and future earning potential of each parent. Other more practical issues like a parent's ability to take care of the child, the parent's availability and who the child may bond with are also important to consider in child custody cases.

It can all be overwhelming, but The Lopez Law Firm is here to help. If you need to come to an agreement or litigate issues regarding child custody or if you are interested in modifying an existing court order related to child custody, we are happy to help. Visitation - Standard Possession Orders
Texas allows Parents to set up visitation in any way that both sides can mutually agree to. If there is no agreement, the Court will enter a Standard Possession Order. In some cases, the Court can find that a Standard Possession Order is not in the best interest of the child. Cases involving abuse, violence, small children, drugs, or other relevant issues can cause a Judge to find that a Standard Possession Order is not in the best interest of the child.
Recently, the State of Texas added a third layer to a Standard Possession Order. There are now orders for parents who reside less than 50 miles apart, less than 100 miles apart, and over 100 miles apart. It can all be overwhelming, but The Lopez Law Firm is here to help. If you need to come to an agreement or litigate issues regarding a Standard Possession Order or child visitation or if you are interested in modifying an existing court order related to a Standard Possession Order or visitation, we are happy to help.  |
