Practical Counsel, Determined Representation and Creative Solutions in Custody Suits
From cases involving two well-adjusted but incompatible parents to those involving domestic abuse or estrangement, we target productive solutions.

Our past successes include:
- Winning custody for a parent despite his being unable to see the kids for several years by substantiating serious problems in the custodial parent's home

Custody of the Children — Joint Custody, Sole Custody, Shared Custody, Split Custody
If you need information regarding types of custody granted in Texas courts, our firm can help answer those questions. Many people do not understand that there are differences between joint managing conservatorship, "split" custody or "shared" custody, and sole managing conservatorship. There are many issues that a court will take into consideration in deciding these issues, and Houston family attorney Holli Palmer can explain the differences, and help make an accurate assessment as to what may be appropriate in your case. Parents frequently use the term "sole custody", not realizing what that entails, and what they are actually asking the court to do.
