Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: What does he have to prove to get custody.

You said in your email that he is fighing for custody. Has he filed anything at the courthouse?

I think it would be much easier to talk over the phone. Your email left out a lot of important details.

If you live in the Houston area, I offer a free telephone consultation at 713-847-6000. Be sure to let me know that you found me on lawguru.com

Merry Christmas!

If you don't live in the Houston area, please meet with an attorney in your community to discuss the details of your situation.

Re: What does he have to prove to get custody.

Like the other response, there are a number of factors to consider in a custody fight. In short, the court is suppose to do what is "in the best interest of the child" In deciding this, the court looks to many factors; parent skills, home enviroment and the parents themselves.

If you are in the North Texas area and looking to hire an attorney to represent you, give me a call. I will talk to you on the phone for free.

Re: What does he have to prove to get custody.

All of us need more details. Basicly he only has to prove that he is not an unfit parent and that your child wants to live with him. Judges look very closely at what is in your child's best interest. The child's wishes are given great weight. If this is a bribe situation the court will look closely. I would not go to court without an attorney. If you are in Dallas Fort Worth area you can call 817 261-2671 for a consultation.

There are a number of details that I would need to discuss with you. But in a nutshell, the courts will look to the best interests of the child. If you would like to discuss this further, and you are in the Dallas - Fort Worth area, I can be reached at 817 763 0600.
