League City Conservatorship Lawyer

____________________
Understanding Conservatorship
In family law, having the right attorney can make all the difference. Since 1988, League City child custody lawyer Rob Musemeche has been a steadfast advocate in the courtroom and beyond.
When parents can no longer co-parent or even communicate effectively, emotions and fears can run high. This is especially true when concerns of parental unfitness, domestic violence, or substance abuse are present. The critical questions parents face are:
  • Where will the child live?
  • What will be the visitation schedule for the non-custodial parent?
  • How will holidays and vacations be divided?
  • Who will decide on the child’s religious upbringing, education, and extracurricular activities?
Rob Musemeche, a board-certified child custody attorney in League City, is dedicated to securing your family’s future. As a father himself, Rob understands the gravity of these issues and is committed to being your advocate.
Key Custody Concepts
Joint Custody: Known as joint managing conservatorship in Texas, joint custody means both parents share the rights and responsibilities for making important decisions about the child’s upbringing, including education, healthcare, and religious training. This arrangement emphasizes the involvement of both parents in the child’s life, often with a significant amount of time spent with each parent as outlined in a parenting plan.
Sole Custody: Also known as sole managing conservatorship, sole custody grants one parent the exclusive right to make major decisions about the child’s upbringing. The non-custodial parent may still have visitation rights but with limited decision-making authority. Sole custody is usually awarded when it is deemed in the best interest of the child due to issues such as parental unfitness, domestic violence, or substance abuse.
In Texas, the term “custody” has been replaced with “conservatorship,” which focuses on the rights and duties of parents rather than the ownership of the child. The court’s primary consideration in determining conservatorship is the best interest of the child, which includes evaluating the child’s emotional and physical well-being, each parent’s ability to provide a stable environment, and any history of domestic violence or substance abuse.
Legal Guidance You Can Trust
Navigating the complexities of conservatorship can be daunting. The specific arrangement—whether joint or sole—depends on the unique circumstances of each case. Consulting with an experienced child custody lawyer like Rob Musemeche can provide the guidance you need to understand your rights and options.
