Custody Practice Areas in San Antonio
From initial custody determinations to complex modifications, we handle every aspect of child custody law in Bexar County and throughout Texas.
Joint Custody
Texas courts favor joint managing conservatorship when it serves the child's best interests. We help negotiate fair parenting time and decision-making rights for both parents.
Sole Custody
When one parent is better positioned to serve the child's needs — due to instability, abuse, or neglect — we build a compelling case for sole managing conservatorship.
Custody Modifications
Life changes. If there's been a material change in circumstances — relocation, remarriage, or a parent's instability — we can petition the court to modify your existing order.
Parental Relocation
Moving out of state or more than 100 miles away requires court approval. We represent both parents seeking to relocate and those opposing a move that affects their parenting time.
Emergency Custody Orders
If your child is in immediate danger, we can seek a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) or emergency custody order from a Bexar County judge — often within 24–48 hours.
Visitation Rights
Whether you're establishing a standard possession order or fighting for expanded visitation, we ensure your parenting time is protected and enforced by the court.
Father's Rights
Fathers have equal rights under Texas law. We aggressively advocate for dads who want to be active, present parents — from establishing paternity to securing fair custody.
Grandparent Rights
Texas law allows grandparents to petition for visitation or custody in certain circumstances. We help grandparents maintain meaningful relationships with their grandchildren.
