Child Custody Lawyer in Austin, TX

Child custody and visitation rights are both significant concerns for divorcing parents and those involved in other family law cases. We understand this concern at the Morrison Law Firm, and we will always put your child’s best interests first in the case of a divorce or other custody proceeding. Lead attorney Greg Morrison uses his extensive litigation experience and dispute resolution skills to address any worries over establishing the appropriate custody arrangement, visitation schedules, relocation restrictions, and other related concerns.

 

Child custody and visitation issues will come up in three different types of family law cases: divorce, suits affecting the parent-child relationship (generally used to refer to cases where two people have a child together but are not married, “SAPCR”) and modifications. The Morrison Law Firm regularly handles each of these.

 

We can help make a difference in your life. 

 

When discussing child custody and visitation terms during any divorce or any of the other family law proceedings mentioned above, we will listen to the concerns of our client, as well as the concerns of our client's spouse or former spouse. Only then can we work closely with the opposing attorney or party to create an agreement that best meets the needs of the family, while simultaneously reconciling any individual differences and avoiding the emotional and monetary costs of litigation.

• Child custody, including primary or joint custody
