When parents are no longer in a relationship and are unable to agree upon the care and custody of a shared child, the situation can become complicated. Often, these matters end up before a Texas judge as part of a formal child custody dispute. The legal process to determine custody matters can be stressful and lengthy, and the end result is not always easy for one or both parents to accept. That said, it is imperative that parents follow the determinations laid out within the child custody order. Failure to do so can result in serious criminal charges and a loss of access to the child in question.
