Will a court likely order a non-custodial, joint managing conservator to allow his 13 year old child to call her primary joint managing conservator when she wants to while on visitation with him.
In Texas, courts generally focus on the best interests of the child. If a *-year-old wants to call the primary conservator during visitation, the court may consider this reasonable unless there's evidence that such contact disrupts visitation or is harmful in some way.
