The Austin, Texas child custody lawyers at The Milner Law Firm realize how emotionally charged the issue of child custody can be. In fact, child custody is often the most challenging issue in a family law case because there are many decisions that need to be made either by the parties in a negotiation or by a judge in a litigation setting.

Child custody includes a determination of visitation, custody, child support, rights and duties (such as which parent gets to determine where the children will attend school and which parent will make major medical decisions), and which parent is able to establish the child's primary residence.

Sometimes, a grandparent of a child is in a position where they may be able to be granted rights or even custody to their grandchild. Grandparent access and custody cases are difficult but not insurmountable given the circumstances. While the State of Texas presumes a parent acts in the best interest of their children, this presumption can be overcome given the right circumstances.

The Milner Law Firm attorneys work diligently to assist their clients in child custody matters of all kinds. Our firm's Austin child custody lawyers also assist in the modification of child custody orders that have become unworkable or otherwise in need of a change.
