Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Child Custody, Same Sex Relationships, and School Districts

As you may know, the standard is what is in the

"best interest of the child," a very subjective

standard. The factors, sexual preference and school

district, are two factors of many that would be

involved in determining the "best interest of the

child." The weight will vary according to the other

factors in your case and will also vary from court

to court. In my opinion, sexual preference was more

heavily weighted a few years ago, but it depends.

Schools always play a role, but less so if the schools

are close in education level. Sorry, I cannot tell

you definitively how these factors affect a case, but

it is an impossible question to answer with certainty.
