Conservatorship

Texas courts assume that most cases involving children will have joint managing conservatorship. In a JMC, both of the parties will have an equal say in raising the kids (more or less.)

However, in most of these cases, one of the parents will determine where the child will live for purposes of school. The other parent typically has a visitation schedule and pays child supportFunds which are ordered by the court to be paid by one parent to the custodial parent of minor children after a separation or divorce. .

You can learn more about the issues related to children and divorce by watching our Child Conservatorship video and the videos that follow it.
