Child Custody & Visitation
Texas Child Custody Laws Attorney

When parents of minor children are separating or divorcing, the most important question related to the divorce or separation is where --- and with whom -- the children will live. The answer to this question will have lifelong consequences for everyone in the family. That is why Texas law, our courts and reasonable people everywhere refer to “the best interest of the child” as the most important factor in child custody decisions.
Contact experienced Austin, Texas family law lawyer David Todd if your family is facing decisions or disputes concerning child custody, child support, spousal support, or division of marital property. Attorney Todd would like to meet with you at his family law firm, or via telephone, for an initial consultation to discuss your options, such as joint custody.
