CHILD CUSTODY AND SUPPORT

Divorce can be an incredibly challenging and emotional experience – especially when children are involved.

At C.E. Borman, we understand the difficulties parents face when navigating child custody and support matters during this time. We know that your children’s well-being is your top priority, and it’s ours, too.

Our experienced Grimes County, Texas team is dedicated to providing compassionate and personalized legal guidance to help you make the best decisions for your children’s future.

Child custody is a critical aspect of divorce that revolves around determining where the child will live and how important decisions about their upbringing will be made.

Texas courts, including those in Grimes County, prioritize the “best interest of the child” when making custody decisions.

Understanding how child custody works in Texas can be complex, but our team of skilled attorneys is here to guide you through the process and protect your rights as a parent.

Texas courts consider several factors when deciding child custody. These factors can include:

• the child’s physical and emotional needs,
• each parent’s ability to meet those needs, and
• how to maintain the child’s stability.

Additionally, the child’s preferences may be taken into consideration, especially if they are older than 12.

Our experienced lawyers at C.E. Borman will help you present your case to the court and advocate for the best outcome for your child.

In Texas, child custody is known as conservatorship, which includes managing conservatorship and possessory conservatorship.

1. Managing conservatorship involves decision-making authority, such as where the child lives and other crucial aspects of their upbringing.
2. Possessory conservatorship determines the visitation rights of the non-custodial parent.

Our legal team has extensive knowledge of conservatorship laws and will work tirelessly to protect your parental rights and secure the best arrangement for your child.

Child support is another critical aspect of raising a child post-divorce.

Non-custodial parents are typically required to provide financial support to help cover the child’s expenses.

Understanding child support laws in Texas is essential to ensure a fair and reasonable arrangement. At C.E. Borman, we have a deep understanding of child support guidelines in Grimes County and will work diligently to ensure that the support arrangement is fair and meets the needs of your child.

Child support calculations in Texas are based on the non-custodial parent’s net income and the number of children being supported.

The process involves deducting certain expenses from the gross monthly income to arrive at the net income. The court then applies a percentage to the net income based on the number of children.

Working with a skilled divorce attorney attorney will help you navigate the complexities of child support calculations and ensure that your child’s financial needs are adequately addressed.

At C.E. Borman, we are committed to providing compassionate and effective legal representation for child custody and support matters in Grimes County.

Our experienced team will work closely with you to develop a personalized strategy that aligns with your child’s best interests.

We will advocate for your rights as a parent – whether in negotiations or in the courtroom – to achieve the best possible outcome for your child.
