How Is Child Custody Determined?

The Texas Family Code allows judges to determine child custody based on the best interests of the child. 

The judge will consider many factors when making this decision, including:

• Each parent's wishes for custody
• Each parent's ability to perform the functions of parenting
• Each child's needs for frequent and continuing contact with both parents
• The child's interaction and relationship with parents and siblings
• The child's adjustment to home, school, and community
• Each parent's and child's physical and mental health
• Each parent's ability to provide the child with a stable, nonviolent environment
• Each parent's ability to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care, and other material needs
• Each parent's ability to provide a safe environment for the child
• The child's preference if the child is of sufficient age to express a preference
• The length of time the child has lived in a stable, healthy environment
• Any evidence of domestic violence
