Cedar Park, TX Child Custody Lawyer

A custody arrangement has to survive real life — school pickups, work schedules, and the drive across town. SMB Law, PC helps Cedar Park parents build parenting plans that hold up day to day and protect their relationship with their children.

Most Cedar Park families we work with are raising kids in the Leander ISD area with both parents living nearby, which shapes what a practical schedule looks like and which possession options are realistically on the table.

Where a Cedar Park custody case is filed

Cedar Park sits mostly in Williamson County, so a custody suit is generally filed with the Williamson County District Clerk in Georgetown, based on where the child has lived. Because the city touches Travis County, confirming the right court for your address is one of the first things we handle.

The Standard Possession Order and the 50-mile rule

Because most Cedar Park families live within 50 miles of the other parent — often just across Williamson or Travis County — the Standard Possession Order’s election options are usually front and center. That default schedule lays out weekends, a Thursday or weeknight period, holidays, and summers, and parents within 50 miles get expanded pickup and drop-off choices that parents farther apart do not. Beneath the schedule sits conservatorship — the decision-making rights — and every choice is measured against the child’s best interest, with Texas presuming joint managing conservatorship.
