Day 1:
Tessmer Tips are continuing through
the Texas Family Code, discussing child custody issues. If you know
someone that is having problems with custody arrangements, please share our
link so they can receive this up-to-date information.
Day 2:
If you are not appointed a managing
or possessory conservator of your child, the court can still order you to
perform other parental duties, including paying child support.
Day 3:
Each parent is required to share
significant information concerning the health, education and welfare of the
child.
Day 4:
If you want to live with or marry a
registered sex offender or someone charged with a sex offense, you are required
to inform the other parent of your child as soon as practicable.
Day 5:
It is a rebuttable presumption that
the appointment of the parents of a child as joint managing conservators is in
the best interest of the child.
Day 6:
A finding of family violence
involving the parents or a parent of the child removes the presumption that the
appointment of the parents as joint managing conservators is in the best
interest of the child.
Day 7:
Written agreed parenting plans must
designate which parent has the exclusive right to determine the primary
residence of the child and whether or not that residence is limited by
geographic restriction.
Day 8:
Written agreed parenting plans must
specify the rights and duties of each parent, must be agreed to by each parent
and must be in the best interest of the child.
Day 9:
The designation of “Joint Managing
Conservator” does not require equal or nearly equal periods of possession … it
simply means that both parents have periods of access to the child.
