Re: Joint custody and child support

In Texas, joint custody is presumed. Of course, the presumption can be overcome.

It does NOT mean that you won't be paying child support.

The Houston Bar Association has a wonderful website that has an excellent booklet on Family Law. It is free.

The Texas Family Code is also available on-line and you can read the legal definition for joint custody.

Good luck!
