If you are working through divorce as a parent, you likely have many different legal matters to focus on with respect to your kids. Aside from custody decisions and child support, you might need to set up pickup and drop-off locations. Your possession order could indicate the time and place that you will pick your child up and return them, and it is crucial to abide by the terms of this agreement.
When completing a possession order, the court goes over various factors and strives to secure an outcome that serves a child’s best interests.
According to the Attorney General of Texas, many non-custodial parents have possession orders that require them to pick up and drop off their child at the residence of the other parent. That said, if both you and your child’s other parent agree to a different location or the court order outlines a different location, you might pick up and drop off your kid somewhere else. For example, you might have the ability to arrange to pick up and return your child at their school.
If you cannot pick your child up during your parenting time, you have to inform your child’s other parent. Additionally, you have the option to arrange for a competent adult to pick your child up or drop them off if you cannot. It is critical to understand your rights as well as your obligations with respect to picking up and dropping off your child as well as other aspects of your possession order.
