Texas child custody laws are continually evolving, and courts must conduct a thorough analysis before making any determinations. The state recently replaced a significant amount of the language in their statutes to lessen the entire process's negativity. Possession and access to the children refer to when the parents have physical custody or visit their children.
Generally, Texas maintains two custody schedules, standard and extended standards, which dictate how and when each parent sees their children. The Texas Family Code, Section 153, explains that child custody determinations should be viewed under the lens of "the best interests of the child." While the Code presumes that joint custody is ideal, that arrangement does not always comport with the child's best interests.

After nearly a month and a half of the worst communication I’ve ever experienced, and absolutely NOTHING getting done with my

I paid money to Elizabeth Alvarez when she was working at her own firm to file green card applications (K1 and K2 visa adjustments) for my wife and daughter. We finished and signed all the documents on February 7, 2018 and after one year, never received a receipt from the government that it was accepted, and everything was in order. Essentially, she and Jessica Burr her paralegal (1) sent the first submission to the wrong address, (2) sent the second submission to the right address, but it was rejected because either the wrong form was used, or the information was inconsistent, (3) she refiled

3/8/17 I have a problem with a employer not paying me my wages. I spoke to David and he was very informative and had good advise on what to do! We spoke in length about the situation and my questions were answered! He gave me the pros and cons of the case. He offered to take the case and gave me an estimate. David was very patient and professional! He actually took interest in my situation. Thanks a lot!
