Frequently Asked Questions

How is child custody decided?

Courts use the 'best interests of the child' standard, considering: each parent's relationship with the child, stability of home environment, child's wishes (if old enough), parental fitness, and willingness to co-parent. Courts increasingly favor joint custody arrangements.

Can I modify a custody agreement?

Yes, if there's been a 'material change in circumstances' since the original order — such as relocation, remarriage, job change, substance abuse, or the child's changing needs. You'll need to petition the court and demonstrate the change benefits the child.

Why does child custody lawyer cost different in Frisco than other cities?

Frisco's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the diversified economy, varied climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The balanced labor market also influences competitive pricing.
