Child Custody and Conservatorship Matters We Handle

  • Conservatorship (sole and joint managing conservatorship)

  • Parenting plans and possession schedules

  • Visitation disputes

  • Custody modifications

  • High-conflict custody cases

  • Enforcement of custody orders​

Parenting Plans and Possession Schedules

A well-structured parenting plan provides clarity, predictability, and stability for both parents and children. Parenting plans address how parents will share time, make decisions, and resolve disputes.

​

Our firm helps parents create parenting plans that:​

  • Reflect the child’s best interests

  • Fit real-life schedules

  • Reduce conflict and confusion

  • Comply with Texas law

 

Parenting plans often work alongside child support obligations, and both must be structured clearly, fairly, and in compliance with Texas law.

Modification of Child Custody Orders

Life changes, and custody orders may need to change as well. A modification may be appropriate when there has been a material and substantial change in circumstances.

​

Common reasons for modification include:​

  • Changes in a parent’s work schedule or income

  • Relocation

  • Changes in a child’s needs

  • Concerns about a child’s safety or well-being​

 

Our firm evaluates whether a modification of child custody orders is appropriate and guides clients through the legal process when changes are necessary.​

Enforcement of Child Custody Orders

When a custody order is not followed, swift action may be required to protect parental rights and maintain stability for the child. Enforcement cases can involve missed visitation, refusal to follow schedules, or violations of court orders.

​

Our firm represents clients in custody enforcement matters by:​

  • Building clear evidence of violations

  • Presenting strong arguments to the court

  • Seeking appropriate remedies under Texas law

​

Our firm works to ensure custody orders are enforced effectively, protecting parental rights while promoting stability and compliance.
