VISITATION
Visitation or Parent Plans

Texas law stresses the importance of having each parent involved
with their children, even if those parents are no longer married. When
the parents are unable to agree on visitation rights, courts lean
toward a standard possession order. This gives the non-custodial
parent time with the child every other weekend, alternating holidays,
and extended time in the summer. For more information about
visitation rights and schedules, also known as parenting plans,
contact the Houston law office of Frank E. Mann, Attorney and
Counselor at law. Call me at (713) 524-6868.

Texas Family Code governs visitation rights

At my Houston law office, I offer clients clear explanations of the laws
affecting visitation or parenting plans. The Texas Family Code
provides detailed instructions for pickup and drop-off, travel
arrangements for visiting the other parent, and grandparent visitation
guidelines. I help clients understand their options for visitation under
the Texas Family Code.

Interpreting the Code for parents

The language used in the family code is one of the reasons it is
important to have an attorney who can educate clients. I interpret
terms such as joint managing conservatorship (joint custody),
possessory conservator (the non-custodial parent), managing
conservator (the custodial parent), and affidavit of relinquishment (a
document that ends parental rights). All of these affect the
development and implementation of a parenting plan.

Parenting coordinator

When parents cannot agree on a parenting plan, the court may
appoint a parenting coordinator to help parents come to an
agreement about visitation schedules. The court may also require
mediation or other alternate resolution techniques. I help clients
navigate the Texas Family Code and the court system in matters
relating to parenting plans and visitation rights.

To learn more about visitation rights following a divorce, contact my
Houston law office. I offer practical, workable solutions to all related
matters.
