Child Custody
Joint Custody
The judges know that parental involvement is vital
to raising good children so they want parents to
communicate before making significant decisions.
Nevertheless, the judges are realistic - they know
that 85% of the time there is a dominant parent who
gets to all the doctor’s appointments, school
conferences and extra-curricular events. If the
parents love their children, the courts see it in
their efforts to jointly care for the children,
despite the statistics. Whatever agreement you and
your spouse work out for the benefit of the
children, the court is not going to second guess
you.
Sole Custody
Sole custody is automatic in cases of family
violence, nothing else makes sense.
Sole custody is automatic in cases of child neglect.
If one of the parents carries the entire burden of
raising the child to the point where you can say
that the other one neglects the responsibility, then
you can get sole custody.
The courts know a deadbeat when they see one because
they see 22,000 new cases a year in Dallas County
alone and people fit into patterns, some good and
caring, some neglectful and self-centered.
