Child Guardianships Law in Texas
Children need guardians. Be they parents, step-parents, family members, or friends, someone must be responsible for the safety and development of a child. In some cases, tragic circumstances dictate that hard choices must be made for the best interests of the child, and in these cases the court considers many variables and decides to place the child in the hands of a responsible adult.
It is rarely a quick process, but this delay is to ensure that the potential child guardian is the most correct choice, and to investigate any potential conflicts that could arise during the guardianship of the child. There are also numerous potential legal roadblocks if there is more than one potential guardian involved, especially if one of the potential guardians contests the ability of other guardians. The ensuing battle is often ugly and protracted, and is rarely in the best interests of the child in question.
In situations of divorce where custody is an issue, it is common for courts to appoint a guradian (now most frequently called an amicus attorney) to protect the interests of the child(ren) and to sort through claims and counter claims of each parent and their respective attorney.
