If my spouse and I are named joint managing conservators of the children, does that mean the children will live with each parent one half the time?
No. There is a presumption under Texas law that parents should be named joint managing conservators. Joint managing conservators are awarded certain rights and responsibilities with respect their child. Possession and access is a different and separate issue. Parties can be named joint managing conservators with one joint managing conservator being awarded primary possession of the children and the other joint managing conservator being awarded visitation.
