EP272 Custody: My Child is 12. Now What? With Dannielle Simms

Attorney Dannielle Simms of the Simmslawgroup.com discusses with Mac Pierre-Louis the topic of child custody preferences in Texas, particularly when a child reaches the age of 12. The discussion covers the legal framework around a child’s preference, the process of the judge interviewing the child, and the factors the judge considers in determining the child’s best interest. The video highlights the importance of understanding that a child’s preference is not the sole determining factor, as the judge must weigh various aspects to make a decision that serves the child’s best interest.
“Just because your child has expressed a preference does not mean that your child’s expressed preference is what they’re going to get right because they’re a child.”
