Many individuals ask whether 50/50 custody or 50% time
with the children for each parent
is a likely outcome in their case
and the reality is under the current construct of Texas Law,
50/50 custody is not preferred and it's not generally
what courts will do.
Now if two consenting adults and parents
agree that a 50/50 schedule is best for them
and more importantly for their children, that can be done.
Further, 50/50 possession schedules
do happen in courtrooms.
They might be more rare than the traditional expanded standard
possession schedule, but 50/50 custody arrangements actually
do occur after contentious hearings resulting
in a judge making a decision of 50/50 possession.
