Accolades & Distinctions
Physical child custody is possession of a child or possessory conservatorship. While parents may share physical custody, this is logistically difficult. Instead, one parent is typically the primary possessory conservator.
In cases of abuse or neglect, one parent may hold sole managing and possessory conservatorship.
Third parties or non-parents may petition the court for child custody under certain circumstances. Generally, this occurs when one or both biological parents are deceased.
To determine if you qualify for third-party custody, speak with an experienced Lakeway child custody attorney.

I had a great experience working with Jimmy Evans on my divorce case. He provided excellent counsel and always focused on getting me the best results. He was accommodating and made sure I understood each step of the process. His paralegal, Dina, was also wonderful! She kept communication clear and timely, and I could always count on her for quick updates and answers. The firm as a whole was efficient, professional, and supportive, which made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Jimmy Evans and his team.
