Georgetown, TX Child Custody Lawyer

When your family is changing, the question that keeps you up at night is usually about the kids. SMB Law, PC helps Georgetown parents work through custody — establishing it, defending it, or adjusting it — with clear advice about what Texas courts actually do and what your realistic options are.

Georgetown custody cases run the full range, from young Georgetown ISD families to situations where grandparents in the Sun City area are closely involved in a child’s life. We tailor the approach to who is actually raising the child and what arrangement will hold up over time.

Where a Georgetown custody case is filed

As the Williamson County seat, Georgetown hears these cases right in town at the Williamson County Justice Center on Martin Luther King Jr. Street. Filing where you live keeps hearings convenient and puts your case in front of courts we know well.

Conservatorship and the joint-managing presumption

Texas starts from the presumption that naming both parents joint managing conservators serves the child — but in a Georgetown case that presumption is a starting point, not a promise of equal time. Conservatorship covers decision-making rights: school, medical care, and where the child primarily lives. Possession and access is the schedule. The test throughout is the child’s best interest, and evidence such as family violence or neglect can rebut the joint-conservatorship presumption. Many Georgetown orders build from the Standard Possession Order and are adjusted to fit the family.
