Domestic violence can significantly affect a child custody case in Texas.

When deciding conservatorship, possession and access, Texas courts must consider evidence of family violence. Depending on the circumstances, it can affect whether parents share decision-making authority, where a child primarily lives, and whether visitation should be restricted or supervised.

The safety and best interests of the child remain central to those decisions.

For survivors dealing with domestic violence during a divorce or custody dispute, understanding the protections available through the family court and getting legal support can be especially important.

Domestic violence can lead to CPS involvement when there are concerns about a child’s safety, even when the violence was not directed at the child.

CPS may look at the child’s exposure to violence, the risk posed by the person using violence, and the broader circumstances affecting the family. Being the victim of domestic violence does not automatically mean a parent has abused or neglected their child.

For survivors, CPS involvement can add another layer of stress to an already difficult situation. Understanding your rights, the concerns CPS is investigating, and the legal protections available can help you make informed decisions for yourself and your children.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, a time to recognize the realities survivors face and the importance of access to safety, support and reliable information.

Domestic violence can affect nearly every part of a family law matter, from decisions about where to live and how to protect children to custody arrangements, temporary orders and divorce. For someone experiencing abuse, understanding the legal options available can be an important part of deciding what comes next.

Every situation is different, and safety should come first. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger, call 911. The National Domestic Violence Hotline is available at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).

When a child has an unexplained injury, of course we should ask questions. But parents deserve to have claims thoroughly investigated and to have access to the evidence being used against them, so they can understand and respond to the allegations.

This month, Shelly Troberman testified before the Texas House of Representatives about her experience defending families in Medical CPS cases and the challenges parents can face in getting a fair and thorough investigation.

Shelly Troberman recently spoke at the Texas Capitol about the turmoil faced by families in Medical CPS cases, and the need to ensure parents have access to the information required to understand and respond to the allegations against them.

For many grandparents, maintaining a relationship with a grandchild can be incredibly important, particularly during periods of family conflict or instability. But grandparents’ rights in Texas are more limited than many people realize.

Grandparents do not automatically have a right to visitation or custody simply because they have a close relationship with a grandchild. In certain circumstances, they may be able to ask the court for visitation or seek custody, but there are specific requirements that must be met.

Our latest article explains when grandparents may have legal options and what Texas families should know.

Deciding who gets to keep the pets is a difficult and complicated part of divorce. The legal approach can feel very different to the emotional reality.

For pet owners, animals are family members, not just property. However, Texas law treats pets as part of the marital estate.

Unlike child custody where the children’s best interests are considered, questions about who gets to keep the family dog are centered on ownership and whether it may be considered separate or community property.
