Experienced Support for Child Custody Challenges
Child custody cases involve critical parent-child relationships. Therefore, it's important to have steady guidance, straightforward information, and a plan that supports your children’s well-being above all else.
Custody issues can arise during divorce or separation, or years after a court order is entered. Regardless of when they happen, my goal is to help you understand your options and move toward an arrangement that works for your family.
Texas courts focus on the best interests of the child when deciding custody. What that means for your day-to-day life can often be unclear. You may have questions about how schedules work, how decisions get made, or whether your situation supports asking for a different arrangement. At Gregory Hitt, I offer child custody representation for the following:
Conservatorship arrangements: I can help you determine how decision-making responsibilities will be shared or assigned between parents.
Possession and access schedules: I can help you create parenting time arrangements that support your child’s routines, school needs, and stability.
Child support: I can review your income, expenses, and legal guidelines to help you pursue support that meets your child’s needs.
Temporary orders: I can help establish parenting responsibilities and schedules while your case is pending to provide predictability for your child early on.
Once you understand how custody is determined in Texas, you will have the tools you need to make decisions that support both your child and your long-term goals. As a Texas family law attorney, my role is to help you feel confident throughout the process and advocate for the best interests of your child and your family.

My Services for Resolving Child Custody Disputes
Every family’s situation is unique. Some parents prefer a cooperative approach, while others face disagreements that require more structured resolution. My role is to help you choose a path that fits your circumstances and supports your child.
At Gregory Hitt, I will talk with you about your goals, your concerns, and the factors that may influence your case. With that understanding, I can explore which options best support your family. Some approaches you might be able to consider include:
Negotiated parenting agreements: Working directly with the other parent to reach a balanced, child-focused agreement.
Mediation: Participating in a structured discussion guided by a neutral mediator to help you find common ground.
Litigation: Presenting your case in court when cooperation isn’t possible or when certain issues require judicial involvement.
Each approach offers benefits depending on your situation. By exploring the available options, you can choose a direction that supports stability and promotes a healthy future for you and your children.
How My Firm Can Help You Make Custody Decisions
Child custody cases often require you to make decisions that affect your daily routines and your family’s long-term structure. These decisions may involve parenting time, decision-making responsibilities, and how future disagreements will be handled. It’s common to feel unsure about what’s realistic or how courts view these issues.
At my firm, I will work closely with you to help you focus on what matters most. You may have concerns about school schedules, extracurricular activities, or medical needs. Understanding these priorities allows us to pursue arrangements that truly reflect your child’s best interests. Some aspects I can help with when making child custody decisions include the following:
Decision-making authority: I can guide you through choosing how you want to handle education, medical care, counseling, and activities for your children.
Parenting schedules: I can help you select standard, expanded, or custom schedules based on your child’s needs and your family dynamics.
Geographic restrictions: I can help you decide where your child will live and whether a designated area should be set to support stability.
These decisions can feel overwhelming, but with clear guidance, you can approach them with more confidence. My goal is to help you make informed choices that support both your child’s well-being and your long-term peace of mind.
