Assuming I have the legal right to file suit, what must I prove to be awarded primary custody (managing conservatorship) of the children who will the subject of the suit?
To be awarded managing conservatorship of child(ren), the person seeking the custody must prove: 1) that the appointment of the parents as managing conservators (to the exclusion of the grandparents or the other close relative) would not be in the child’s best interest because the appointment would significantly impair the child’s physical health or emotional development, and 2) the parents are unfit.
