Cypress Father’s Rights Lawyer

Mediation and Negotiation

Mediation and negotiation can help prevent emotions from running high and clouding the judgment of each party. Without a skilled mediator in these situations, it can be easy to lose sight of what is really important, the children.

Access to Both Parents

Studies have proven that when a child has access to both parents they stand a better chance of having a healthy early development.

If both parties want access to their children and neither party has any history with drugs, alcohol, or violence, we will fight for an arrangement where your child has access to both of you.

Remember, your children should always be the priority. This makes it essential for you and your partner to work together to create an arrangement that is in their best interests.

Best Interests of the Child in a Child Custody Decision

Every Judge, courtroom, and attorney that is involved in family law cases in Cypress, TX will prioritize the needs of the children involved above all else.

It doesn’t matter if you are the legal father or the legal mother, the decision will come down to the previous involvement of each parent and their stability, rather than the gender of each party.

Decisions should be made based on what will give the child the best chance at a healthy development and will ensure that their emotional and financial needs are the best met.

This is determined by a range of important factors:

The Parents’ Stability

One of the most important things that will be considered, is whether or not one parent is more stable than the other.

Stability relates to how well each parent can maintain a stable job and income. They may also consider each parent’s financial situation. If you are prone to getting yourself into debt, this may be held against you.

How Much Personal Attention Each Parent Has Shown their Child Previously

In Cypress, TX, the Judge will look at how involved you have been previously with your children.

Even if you do not win custody, if you regularly attend important events in your child’s life like parents’ evenings, football matches, and doctor’s appointments, you will be encouraged to continue doing so.

Potential Danger to Child from Either Parent

If neither party has any prior behaviors that signal they may be a danger to any child involved, such as drug abuse or a history of domestic violence, we will fight for an arrangement where each parent has access to the child.

It is really important that you work closely with your attorney if you are attempting to prove that your spouse may be a danger to your children. You and your attorney will need to provide as much evidence as possible to the courts.

The Emotional and Physical Needs of the Child

The Judge will look at your child’s current developmental stage and evaluate each parent’s ability to provide for the child’s current and future needs. This could include the court’s opinion on whether or not the parent is willing to put the needs of the child before their own, as well as their ability to adapt to the child’s changing needs.

Family Circle

Each individual case is different. If your children have had access to a tight family group, the Judge will attempt to make a decision that maintains your child’s access to that group wherever possible. This can make relocation to a different city or state difficult.
