A Texas child custody calendar outlines a schedule for possession and access to a child in cases of separated or divorced parents. This schedule dictates which parent has the child at any given time, including overnights, holidays, and school breaks. While the specific details vary based on individual court orders, the calendar generally adheres to the Texas Family Code’s guidelines regarding the best interests of the child. An example might include alternating weekends with one parent having primary custody during the school week.
Standardized possession schedules offer predictability and stability for children, minimizing disruption to their routines and fostering a sense of security. These calendars can also reduce conflict between parents by providing a clear framework for custody arrangements, minimizing ambiguity and potential disagreements. Texas law has evolved to prioritize the child’s well-being, leading to the development of these schedules as a tool for promoting healthy co-parenting.
