How To Best Handle Your Houston Custody Battle

August 14, 2021 By Nagesh Belludi Leave a Comment

On its own, getting a divorce is already a tedious process. First, you have to decide on whether or not you want a divorce. Then, you’ll have to do all the necessary paperwork and go through all the required procedures. Sometimes, there’s also the need for some negotiation when it comes to arriving at a settlement. After all of these things, it’s only then that you can get your divorce decree,

While this already seems like a lot to deal with, it can become more complicated when your children get involved. Aside from looking after your divorce, there’s also the matter of figuring out the custody of your children. There are even more custody-related issues and concerns that arise from all of this. You can only be sure that dealing with all of that will not be easy with all that to look after. But, while it won’t be easy, there is a way to make it more manageable for yourself. For that, you need the help of child custody lawyers in Houston.

What Goes On During A Custody Battle?

A custody battle basically helps decide who has what responsibilities over the child after the divorce. Usually, it’s three main things that are determined during a custody battle. These three are conservatorship, rights and duties, and possession and access.

When you say conservatorship, this means that you are the one in charge of making decisions for your child. Conservatorship can be shared between both parents or can be handled by one parent.

On the other hand, rights and duties define what the role of each parent is when it comes to making decisions. These decisions can range from those of a medical nature to those of a religious nature.

As for possession and access, things such as visitation schedules are worked out in this aspect of the custody battle.

While the court is the one that ultimately determines the custody agreements for a divorce, there is still something you can do about it before it’s finalized. For example, you can help bring your case forward to help convince the court why you think a particular custody agreement would be favorable for you and your child. To do that, the best thing you can do is to get the help of a child custody lawyer.

How Can A Child Custody Lawyer Help Me?

A child custody lawyer can help advocate for your right to be a parent to your child. They do what they can to help protect your rights as a parent.

When child custody is being determined, the court needs to take into account your child’s well-being. This is their top priority. To help them figure out where they’ll be better off, they’ll need to know things like where each parent lives, if a parent has any vices that may negatively impact the child’s well-being, and if a parent can support and care for a child.

Getting yourself a custody lawyer can help you bring forward the best possible case for why your child would be better off living with you. If there are hearings, they can help tell you what you need to say based on your situation. They can also help you prove why it would be more suitable for your child to live with you.

Aside from that, they can also help you reach a settlement with your spouse regarding child support and visitation rights. Since this part usually entails negotiation, having someone who knows how to sort these things out can make it easier to go through.

Child custody lawyers are there to help you fight for your right to parent your child and make sure that a settlement is reached that would favor both you and your child. Lawyers such as those in the Skillern Firm understand how important it is for the right parent to be there for their child’s growth and how important it is for a parent to be there as their child grows. Therefore, the right custody lawyer will fight for you and your child as best as they can.
