Custody instead of a guardianship for a minor (under 18) child

Custody is handled in the family courts in Texas. Guardianship is handled by the probate courts in Texas.

I don't like guardianships for minor children. Why? They are paper intensive and sometimes more expensive than custody.

I encourage people to consider legal custody for minor children.

You would need to talk to an attorney to determine if you need legal guardianship if a minor child or if legal custody of a minor child would be better.

I can't answer that question for you unless I talk to you about your individual facts.
