Bench Notes
Stagione 1
Custody Titles Don’t Matter as Much as You Think
How to Lose Credibility in Family Court
di Craig Jackson
In this episode of Bench Notes, Craig Jackson explains what is actually included in a final judgment in a family law case. Using a Texas divorce decree as an example, he walks through conservatorship, parental rights and duties, possession schedules, child support, medical expenses, property division, and the provisions parents are required to follow after the case is over. He also explains why custody titles may not mean as much as people think, which parts of the decree have the greatest effect on daily life, and what you should understand before signing an agreed final order.
