How to Get Full Custody of a Child as a Mother - Lacey Richmond

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Richmond Law Firm, PLLC - This episode delves into the essential aspects of pursuing sole managing conservatorship, commonly referred to as full custody, in Texas. Based on the article How to Get Full Custody of a Child as a Mother, we discuss what it means for a parent to gain the legal authority to make critical decisions for their child’s welfare. Learn about the distinction between conservatorship, which focuses on decision-making rights, and possession and access, which pertains to physical custody and visitation schedules. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the best interests of the child as the primary standard used by Galveston County Family Court.
Listeners will gain insights into how the Texas Family Code governs child custody arrangements, including the presumption of joint managing conservatorship and the steps a parent must take to overcome it. This episode highlights key custody factors considered by the court, such as parental abilities, past conduct, and the willingness to co-parent. We also explore the legal processes involved, such as filing a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) to establish or modify custody and visitation rights.
We address the importance of gathering relevant documentation, such as medical and school records, to build a compelling case for sole managing conservatorship. The discussion includes strategies for demonstrating a stable home environment, documenting parental involvement, and presenting evidence when the other parent’s behavior may compromise the child’s well-being. We also touch on situations where a parent may seek to terminate the other parent’s rights due to endangerment, neglect, or abuse.
Throughout the episode, we underline the importance of seeking legal representation to navigate the complexities of the custody process effectively.
