Protecting Your Child’s Best Interests
When parents separate or divorce, determining where a child will live and how decisions will be made is one of the most sensitive issues the family faces.
Custody disputes are emotionally charged and legally complex, with outcomes that shape a child’s future.
Allen & Thauwald, P.C. helps parents navigate custody matters with compassion, clarity, and effective advocacy—always focused on protecting your child’s best interests.
How Texas Approaches Custody
In Texas, custody is referred to as “conservatorship” and includes both the right to make decisions and the schedule for possession & visitation.
Courts prioritize the best interests of the child, considering factors such as parental involvement, stability, and the child’s needs.
We explain how the law applies to your situation and build strategies tailored to your family.

Visitation & Parenting Time
A parent’s relationship with their child is invaluable.
We help craft fair visitation schedules that promote meaningful parent-child relationships while providing stability for the child.
Our attorneys ensure that parenting time is structured, enforceable, and designed with the child’s best interests in mind.

Life changes, and so do the needs of children and parents. Job relocations, changes in living arrangements, or evolving family dynamics may require modifications to custody or visitation orders.
We guide parents through the process of seeking or contesting modifications, always with the child’s best interests at the forefront.
