Texas Enlists The Help Of Mandatory Courses In Some Divorce Cases To Help Children

Texas has one of the highest divorce rates in the country with 3.1 divorces per 1,000 population. In order to help the children of the divorcing families, especially in difficult divorce cases, the Texas Legislature enacted a provision relating to the taking of a Parent Education and Family Stabilization course when ordered by the Court.

These courses are not mandatory in most counties, but many believe that the courses are productive and parents focus on the best interests of their children rather than just focusing on themselves and the divorce process. The courses are usually between four and twelve hours and are designed to educate and assist parents with regard to the consequences of divorce on children and parents.

Requesting additional help in difficult divorce cases with young children

A Houston family lawyer can request a court to order a Parent Education and Family Stabilization course when a party is being difficult or is not doing what is best for the children involved in a divorce.

In addition, a Huston family attorney can help you work out the custody, visitation and support issues that pertain to your young children. If a court needs to get involved because you cannot agree on the terms with your ex spouse, a Houston divorce lawyer can help present you in the best light to the court to make for a quick resolution to the issues involved, and to make it easier on your children.

Child Custody
Texas courts do everything they can to minimize the negative impact of the court system on children in divorce cases. If the parents cannot agree on a custody plan, the court will use its own discretion to form a plan that it thinks fits the best interests of the children. Some of the court’s considerations include:
• Health, welfare and safety of the children
• History of neglect, sexual abuse or sexual assault by a parent
• History of family violence
Houston divorce attorneys realize that divorce is a very emotional experience and that many times a rational mind is needed when looking out for the best interests of the young children involved in a difficult divorce. Contact a Houston divorce lawyer for assistance with your divorce case as they have dealt with similar cases in the past and garnered amicable results between both parents.
