How to Establish Visitation in Texas with Your Children
Learn how to establish a visitation schedule in Texas and understand your rights to "possession and access" with your children.
Understanding Possession and Access
In Texas, visitation is legally referred to as "possession and access." This term encompasses a parent's right to spend time with their child and maintain contact through phone calls, emails, and other means of communication.
Standard Possession Order
Texas law provides a Standard Possession Order (SPO) that outlines a default visitation schedule. This includes alternating weekends, Thursday evening visits, alternating holidays, and extended summer possession.
Custom Visitation Schedules
Parents can agree to a custom schedule that better fits their family's needs, as long as it serves the best interests of the child.
