What does joint managing conservatorship mean?
Joint Managing Conservatorship is basically a title. It is the designation of each parent’s rights and duties, and the division of parenting time that has true meaning. Parents will allocate parental rights and duties between them. In most cases, the child’s residence will be restricted to a defined geographic area. Joint Managing Conservatorship does not mean “equal time” with each parent, and does not preclude the payment of child support. In most cases, one parent will be designated as the primary parent, and each parent will be awarded time with the child in accordance with the standard possession order.
