Understanding Custody in Texas
In Texas, what most people call "custody" is legally known as "conservatorship." There are two main types:
Joint Managing Conservatorship
The most common arrangement where both parents share rights and duties regarding their children. Typically, one parent is designated as the primary conservator who determines the child's residence, while both parents share in major decisions.
Sole Managing Conservatorship
In cases involving family violence, abuse, or neglect, the court may award sole managing conservatorship to one parent, giving them exclusive rights to make decisions for the child.
