Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

It sounds as if your boyfriend may already have custody orders in place, because 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends is what Texas calls a "standard possession order." If it helps, having the 1st, 3rd and 5th weekends actually gives your boyfriend MORE weekend possession time than if it was simply "every other weekend." You see, every time there is a 5th weekend, it means your boyfriend will have 2 weekends in a row (the 5th weekend is followed immediately by a "1st" weekend thereafter). Presuming your boyfriend does have the standard possession order in place, he should also be entitled to Thursday dinner (or overnight) visits. If he chose overnights, and exercises all of his visitation time under the standard possession orders (including Thursdays and the month of July), he will end up having his child with him almost 45% of the time. In that way, Texas is very progressive about protecting Dad's rights, and ensuring the children have a strong and healthy relationship with BOTH parents.
