Our Bryan Child Custody & Support Services

Ideally, you and your child’s other parent can come to an agreement on child custody, and a judge won’t have to make the decision for you. This can be done with an experienced child custody and support attorney by your side through negotiation, mediation, and drawing up a parenting plan.

Here are some of the most common issues that can be resolved by a parenting plan:

  • Conservatorship, meaning who has physical and legal custody
  • Primary residence
  • Visitation
  • Education
  • Healthcare
  • Religious upbringing
  • Child support payments

But when there are disputes that can’t be resolved out of court, a judge will need to issue a legal order. The judge will assume that the best option is joint custody, meaning both parents make decisions about the above issues together. But at the end of the day, decisions are always made first and foremost in the best interest of the child.

In addition, the law in Bryan and throughout Texas requires non-custodial parents to pay child support and has guidelines for calculating payments. The basic formula for calculating child support payments is simple: the non-custodial parent’s net income multiplied by a percentage. The percentage is based on the number of children being supported.

There are many decisions that have to be made regarding a child’s upbringing after a divorce, and the law can be complex. An experienced legal team like C.E. Borman’s will fiercely represent your and your child’s interests both in and out of the courtroom.
