The Jimenez Law Firm Child Custody




Flower Mound and Lewisville Child Custody Attorneys 

 When guiding clients through child custody, we make sure that the client is 100 percent prepared for the process. We ensure that he or she understands the importance of the process, the paperwork and the initial hearing. Through our preparation, we address topics such as each parent’s income, the child’s wishes and family violence. If there is a history of family violence, it can affect child custody. Most often, the court will grant the parents joint managing conservatorship (JMC). In family situations where there are allegations of abuse, neglect or a history of drug use, our firm will argue that one parent should be designated as the sole managing conservatorship (SMC). The other parent, then, is limited to being a possessory conservator. The possessory conservator will have visitation rights and will be responsible for paying child support to the SMC. These judgments, as with most items in the divorce judgment or suit affecting the parent child relationship, can be modified at a later date.
