Austin, Texas, Child Custody and Visitation Lawyers

At Brown & Gast PLLC, we believe custody and visitation issues require sensitivity to the needs of all family members. We also recognize that each custody case is different, and we devise unique resolutions to the complicated issues involved. The Attorneys at Brown & Gast PLLC invest time to find resolutions through creative means.

We have litigated cases involving all types of legal custody and prefer to utilize such experience and knowledge to identify and implement a mutually-agreeable child custody arrangement. Additionally, our focus is consistently on the interests of the children involved. We are truly concerned with and protect the psychological and emotional well-being of the kids - since children do not have a voice in the divorce process.

Texas courts will make the decision regarding custody of your children. If your child is old enough, their choice of parent will be given some consideration by the court. However, the ultimate custody determination depends upon an evaluation of other factors with a focus on the child's best interests. In some cases a psychological evaluation will be scheduled to ensure the children are in the best living situation. The courts will also look at other various factors, including:

• Living environment
• Emotional relationships
• Possibilities of abuse
• Criminal records
• Stability
• Mental and Physical Health issues
• Geographical location of each parent
• Siblings in each household

The Attorneys at Brown & Gast PLLC focus on facilitating close relationships between both parents and the children. By doing so, the courts will see this as a favorable relationship with the potential for a very positive future.
