Houston, Texas – September 14th, 2025 – The complexities of divorce and child custody are one of the most emotionally challenging experiences a family can face.

With extensive experience in divorce and child custody cases, the attorneys at Ramos Law Group, PLLC understand the intricacies of Texas family law. Divorce often involves more than just the end of a marriage. It can include financial disputes, property division, spousal support, and, most importantly, the care and custody of children. For parents, protecting their child’s best interests during such a turbulent time is paramount, and that’s where a knowledgeable attorney makes the difference.

In Texas, child custody is legally referred to as “conservatorship.” Conservatorship determines the legal rights and responsibilities of each parent. There are two main types: Joint Managing Conservatorship (JMC), where both parents share decision-making and responsibilities, and Sole Managing Conservatorship (SMC), where one parent has primary rights and responsibilities. Texas law favors joint custody when possible, believing that children thrive when they maintain a relationship with both parents. However, courts will grant sole custody in cases where it best serves the child, such as when abuse or neglect is present.

The foundation of all custody decisions in Texas is the “best interest of the child” standard, as outlined in Tex. Fam. Code § 153.002. This means the court prioritizes the child’s health, safety, emotional development, and overall well-being above all else. While parents’ preferences are considered, the ultimate decision is always made with the child’s welfare in mind.

“Family law is not just about legal strategy, it’s about helping people through some of the most personal and emotional challenges of their lives,” said Mary Ramos, Owner of Ramos Law Group, PLLC. “We are committed to making the complex simple, empowering our clients to move forward with confidence and clarity.”
