    Default Custody and Primary Residence

    My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Texas

    If both parents are fit, but the Dad was primary caregiver and works from home, continues to live in the home and school district and is available more, who has a better chance at primary? Mom intends to move immediately and change the kids school. Final hearing was completed one month ago. Temporary was one week on one week off.

    Judge has not ruled on custody yet.

    The crystal ball is out for calibration.

    If the temp orders are week on/week off, there's at least a decent chance that will be the final order.

    Why does the child need a "primary residence?" You could ask that dad have residence for school purposes or that child stay in current school unless parents agree on a different school without a primary residence.

    Mom said at the final hearing that she was going to move if she got primary. Dad asked for kids to stay in county and school district. The Judge hasn't ruled. No primary would be great, but Mom's afraid she won't get enough child support to make it.

    Ahhh the two reasons people push for the primary thing... Moving and money, and all in the same case. At least it seems that mom's motivations are more centered around herself and not the kids. Hopefully the judge won't make you wait too long.
