What is the standard possession schedule (commonly referred to as standard visitation)?
The Standard Possesion Schedule is set forth in sections 153.311 through 153.317 of the Texas Family Code. Although there are many more details to the Standard Possession Schedule, essentially the non-custodial parent who lives less than 100 miles from the children has possession of the children on the first, third and fifth weekends of the month, extended periods during the summer and alternating possession for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break. This standard schedule is modified for non-custodial parents who live more than 100 miles from their children.
