The goal of Texas family courts is to approve a child custody arrangement that benefits the child. As a former assistant district attorney, I am familiar with the family court system and I often work with families to craft a child custody plan that meets their child's needs.

The phrase "child custody" is actually shorthand in Texas for the word "conservatorship". I can work with you to determine a conservatorship plan that designates where your child will reside and who will make important decisions about his or her education, health, and general well-being. Although these decisions are ultimately made based on each family's specific circumstances, it is common for parents to share parenting responsibilities.

Child Custody Modifications

There must be a compelling reason for Texas family courts to approve a child custody modification. If the needs of the child change, or if a parent fails to meet his or her child custody obligations, a modification may be necessary.

If you wish to relocate with your child, you will need the court's approval. If you wish to contest a child move-away situation, you will go through a similar process. At the Law Offices of Jennifer S. Goldman, P.L.L.C., I can help you explore your options regarding any child custody modification, including relocation. It is important to remember that in any legal issue involving children, Texas family courts will consider the best interests of the child.

An Attorney who Cares

If you are looking for legal representation in a family law matter, it is important that you know I truly care about my clients. I can help you make decisions that protect your child and support your family's needs. If you find yourself dealing with the bureaucracy of Texas Child Protective Services (CPS), I can help you understand your rights and options.
