What is the standard visitation schedule/ standard possession order?
The standard possession order is a statutory scheme that is designed to provide almost equal time between the children and the non-primary parent, and allocate holiday periods between the parents. It is established in the Texas Family Code and applies to children three years of age or older. Generally, one parent has possession of the children on the first, third and fifth weekends of each month, and on Thursday evenings during the school year. Holidays and summer time periods are allocated between the parents. For most parents it is intended to be statutory minimum of contact. There is no schedule for children under the age of three. Those schedules are generally custom made.
