Child Custody and Visitation

Issues dealing with child custody laws can be some of the most emotionally charged aspect of family law.  It is important that you find a child custody attorney with a complete understanding of Texas child custody laws.

As a child custody attorney, Brandy-Baxter Thompson's primary concern is what is in the best interests of the child. With years of experience in Texas child custody law, Brandy Baxter-Thompson can offer legal counsel pertaining to family law issues, including child custody laws.

In dealing with child custody law, numerous factors must be considered including all the rights and responsibilities that go along with making major decisions in a child's life, such as:

• Determining the primary residence of the child;
• Determining which parent will make the important medical decisions for the child, including therapy and mental health matters; and
• Determining the type of school the child attends and where;

Once the child support terms have been determined, we suggest that the terms be reviewed every three year to adjust changing circumstances.

Modifications to the divorce decree with regard to the child visitation, access, and possession are common in a society of changing circumstances. Some of the most common reasons for post-decree modifications of child visitation or access include:

• The family circumstances of either parent changes due to remarriage and birth of additional children
• The child's age and needs change
• A parent relocates
• The child begins living with the current non-custodial parent
