What Legal Rights Do I Have?

Texas law can be complicated when it comes to grandparents (and other nonparents) and custody or visitation rights. Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to petition a court for custody of a grandchild. If permanent custody is not a viable option, temporary custody or favorable visitation arrangements may be possible.

Our firm can help you articulate your concerns and explore your options. Managing Partner David L. Cook is Board Certified in Family Law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. Mr. Cook has extensive experience negotiating and developing workable custody arrangements.
