Addressing Child-Related Issues

Developing a Parenting Plan

Courts prioritize the best interests of the child. A clear parenting plan that outlines how parents will share duties and time is essential for a smooth court approval process.

Guidelines for Child Support in Texas

Texas uses specific statutory guidelines to calculate child support, generally based on a percentage of the obligor's net monthly income. Our tools help you organize your financial information to reflect these standards.

Managing Conservatorship and Possession Schedules

Texas law refers to custody as 'conservatorship.' Most parents are named joint managing conservators, meaning they share the rights and duties of raising the child, even if the child's primary residence is with one parent.
