Custody is about the details that shape your child’s future.

In Texas, what people call “custody” is described in the law and in court orders as “conservatorship” (parental rights) and “possession” (visitation). In most cases, a geographic restriction is put in place that says the child must live in a defined area so that one parent cannot move away with the child. Other important issues that need to be addressed regarding children are child support, health and dental insurance for the child, and injunctions.

Enos Family Law wants its clients to understand Texas law and procedures so that parents make the best decisions possible in child custody cases. Read the topics below for a general overview of each:
