Need more time before your Texas divorce hearing or trial?

🎓 Who pays for college after a divorce?

In Texas, divorced parents are not required by law to pay for their child’s college education. However, parents can agree to share college and other post-secondary education expenses as part of their divorce agreement.

If you plan to contribute to your child’s education, it can be helpful to clearly outline who will pay for tuition, housing, books, fees, and other expenses before those costs arise.

Planning ahead can help avoid confusion and disagreements years down the road.

What's the Difference Between Joint or Sole Managing Conservatorship?

In Texas, parents may be named joint managing conservators, meaning they share certain important rights and duties regarding their child. In some circumstances, however, a parent may seek sole managing conservatorship, which gives one parent exclusive decision-making authority.

Factors such as domestic violence, substance abuse, neglect, or concerns about a child’s safety can impact how conservatorship is determined.

Every custody case is different. Understanding how conservatorship works can help you better understand your rights and options as a parent.
