It is not that simple. Children cannot just be handed over back and forth. The child's other parent has a say in this as well. It is a court proceeding, known as a Suit Affecting Parent-Child Relationship, and after filing, notice and hearing, (unless agreed by the parties) the court determines what is in the best interest of the child. Be careful, because once a person has possession of the child for six months, they get standing to intervene in the lawsuit, and contest the conservatorship arrangements.
