Child Custody and Conservatorship Can be Complex

Often child custody and/or convservatorship in Houston and Harris County, Texas is thought of as the determination of where the children live, or who they will live with at the conclusion of a divorce or paternity proceeding.  However, it is more than where the children will make their primary home.  Experienced child custody attorneys and/or conservatorship lawyers understand that it also involves a number of critical rights and duties, including but not  limited to a determination of:

  • Who will have the right to determine the residence and domicile of the children?  Where will the residence and domicile be?  And, should the residence and domicile be restricted to a geographic area?  If so, what should that area be?  Will the right be restricted to Houston or Harris County or contiguous counties.
  • Who will have the right to make educational decisions regarding the children?  Should this right be joint, independent, or exclusive?
  • Who will have the right to make medical decisions and decisions regarding elective invasive procedures? And, should these rights be joint, independent, or exclusive?
  • Who will have the right to make decisions regarding psychological and psychiatric treatment for the children? And, should these rights be joint, independent, or exclusive?
