Custody Weekend Scheduling Guide

Summary

The Standard Possession Order in Texas typically allows the non-custodial parent visitation on the first, third, and fifth weekends of each month if they live within 100 miles of the childs primary residence. If Isaac had your daughter last weekend, it was likely the first weekend of the month, meaning this weekend would not be his. The Standard Possession Order is a common arrangement, but individual agreements may vary. Always refer to your specific custody agreement for details.

To determine if this weekend is your weekend for visitation, refer to the Standard Possession Order in your custody agreement. If Isaac D. Carrillo resides within * miles of the primary residence, he has the right to possession on the first, third, and fifth weekends of each month. Check the calendar to confirm the weekend's position within the month.
Would you like more specific guidance on interpreting any part of the custody agreement?
He had her last weekend
Since Isaac had your daughter last weekend, and if it was the third weekend of the month, he would not have her this weekend. Typically, he would have her on the first, third, and fifth weekends of the month.
Would you like help understanding any other specific part of your custody agreement?
Okay so last weekend would count as the first weekend
If last weekend was considered the first weekend of the month, then this weekend would not be Isaac's weekend according to the Standard Possession Order.
Would you like assistance with any other specific details in your custody agreement?
Does other mothers have standard possession
