Temporary Child Custody Law in Texas
Because the process of divorce is often a lengthy affair, the ability to comfort and support the children of the two partners is often at issue. When separating, the individuals involved may not be able to support the children as well as when they were together, and in this case the court will appoint primary temporary custody to one of the parties, with the other party obligated to pay primary support. The ultimate goal of temporary custody is to establish stability during this difficult period, in order to facilitate maximum efficiency during the divorce proceedings. Other considerations for temporary custody include:
- Circumstances of spouses who both want physical custody of child(ren)
- Spouses who are unsure if divorce is the final answer, but want to protect their rights regarding custody, visitation, and support.
- Loss of income and inability to pay bills and needs of one spouse to support the child(ren)
- Denial of any visitation rights
- Fear of use of visitation as revenge or a negotiation tool.
- Difficulty getting the child(ren) back when they visit the other spouse
- Potential for kidnapping of the child(ren).
- Refusal to pay, insufficient or irregular amounts of child support
- Moving or leaving the state or area with the child(ren)
