Child custody in Texas is called conservatorship. A conservatorship may be either a managing conservatorship or a possessory conservatorship.
Managing conservatorship refers to legal custody of a child and the right to make significant decisions about a child’s life. One parent may be a child’s sole managing conservator, or both parents may share the role as joint managing conservators.
Possessory conservatorship or physical custody of a child pertains to a child’s residence. One parent is the possessory conservator, even in cases of joint managing conservatorship.
The managing conservator of a child makes any medical, educational, and religious decisions in their life. As this is a critical role for parents, the court presumes that parents should share the responsibility of managing conservators.
Therefore, the court will award joint managing conservatorship unless it is against a child’s best interests.
James W. Evans is a board-certified family law attorney and the founder of Evans Family Law Group. With over 25 years of experience, he has built a reputation as a trusted advocate for Texas families navigating divorce, custody, and complex family law matters.
Accolades & Distinctions
The parent with whom a child resides at any given time has possessory conservatorship. The other parent has access to that child. When parents cannot agree on timeframes for possessory conservatorship and access, the standard possession order applies.
The standard possession order is a statutory order with detailed instructions for access based on the distance between the parents. However, the order does not necessarily apply to very young children (those under three). The standard possession order may be altered if it is in the best interest of the child.
Note that denying access to a child against a court order can result in court sanctions for a parent.

Client Reviews

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.
