Lorem Ipsum Is Simply Dummy Text Of The Printing And Typesetting

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

What is the "Best Interest of Child" Standard under Texas Law?

In Texas, there is a legal presumption that both parents will be entitled to joint legal custody (“conservatorship”) of their children with visitation rights (“possession and access”) unless evidence shows that the presumption is not in “best interest of the child.” For now, let’s focus on what that standard means under Texas Family Law.


The “best interest of the child” standard is based on a Texas statute, which prioritizes the child’s needs and parents’ abilities to meet them, rather than relying on outdated stereotypes such as those that favored mothers over fathers as primary caregivers. Just a few of the many factors that Texas courts consider include:


  • Child’s age and special physical or mental considerations
  • Each parent’s ability to provide for health and nutrition
  • Each parent’s ability to provide appropriate supervision and discipline
  • Access to support system, including extended family
  • History of physical or mental abuse

The best interest of the child can change over time due to both the circumstances of the parents and the changing needs of growing children. However, once a custody order is in place, it can be difficult to modify. The child custody lawyers of Scroggins Law Group are here to advocate for you and your child through whatever circumstances or challenges that stand to impact the judge’s final order.
