Representing Fathers in Child Custody and Visitation Cases
In Texas, there is no longer a presumption that children will live with their mother after divorce. At the Law Office of Sharon Merrick, I have represented many fathers in the Richardson-Plano area who seek primary conservatorship, expanded visitation or a 50-50 possession schedule. Fathers have rights after divorce, and I work to protect them.
Who Will Have Custody of Children After Divorce?
In Texas, child custody is referred to as "conservatorship." This term refers to the duty to make important decisions for your child on issues such as education, elective surgery, and consent to marry or join military before age 18. These decisions can be made by one parent or require consultation or agreement with the other parent.
I have represented a number of fathers who were threatened with the loss of their parental rights by an angry spouse. Judges, however, are concerned with the best interests of the child involved.
When it comes to fathers' rights and child custody, many people think it's win or lose. As your lawyer, I will work with you and fight for a custody solution that meets your goals and objectives.
