After the Supreme Court legitimized same-sex marriage, many people in Texas and across the nation celebrated. The move was viewed as an extension of rights to a group that had long felt shut out of marriage. For some same-sex couples, however, the battle is not yet over. An example is found in a couple currently struggling over a complex child custody dispute.
Parents must choose child custody battles carefully
Many Texas parents can't wait to move beyond divorce and custody matters, believing that things will smooth out once an agreement has been reached and all parties are able to settle into the newly altered family structure. Unfortunately, it is common for parents to continue struggling with one another, even after child custody matters have been settled. One of the hardest things for newly divorced parents to accept is that they will have no control over their former partner's parenting approach once the marriage has ended.
