FAQ
Can I seek custody for a child that's not my own? Under certain circumstances in Texas, non-parents can obtain “custody” of children. The rules of non-parent rights are very complicated and procedural mistakes can irreparably damage your case.
If one parent keeps a child away from the other parent when there is not a court order, there is no way to force visitation to happen. Without a court order, neither parent can file an enforcement action. An enforcement action cannot be used to enforce an informal agreement between the parents.
Typically, individuals cannot directly fight for custody of someone else's child unless they have legal standing, like being a close relative or having a significant relationship with the child.
In Texas, there are essentially three different ways a non-parent can obtain standing to request custody of a child in Texas. The “Actual Care and Control” Standard. The “Significant Impairment” Standard. The “Mutual Consent” Standard.
In Texas, a TRO lasts for 14 days or until your temporary orders hearing, whichever is first. But what about after the hearing? If a set of temporary orders worked for all family members, then the court might choose to turn the temporary order into a permanent or final order to finalize the divorce.

If the parents live within 100 miles of each other, the noncustodial parent has parenting time with the child every 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekend, one weeknight per week during the school year, about half of all holidays, and for an extended time during the summer.
