The fact that you aren’t married to your child’s other parent doesn’t mean that you don’t get to play a role in your child’s life. Assuming that it is in the child’s best interest, a Texas judge will likely allow you to have custody or visitation rights to your son or daughter. First, a judge will look to see if there is a strong bond between yourself and your child. A child custody attorney in Plano can help you organize phone records, bank statements or other evidence showing this to be the case. Next, a judge will take a look at your physical, financial and emotional health. Essentially, a judge wants to know that you have the means to buy food for your child or to keep up with your kid on the playground. If you lack the ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your kid, you may receive limited visitation as opposed to custody rights. Finally, you will need to submit proof that you have a civil relationship with the child’s other parent. This is because your former partner will also likely be granted an opportunity to have a relationship with your son or daughter. Ultimately, you must show that you can interact with this person without creating a toxic environment for your child or undermining your partner’s parental authority.
