Texas Child Custody Affidavit Form

In Texas, the best interest of the child is the primary consideration when determining child custody. Holley factors are a set of guidelines used by courts to determine what is in a child’s best interest. These factors take into account the desires of the child, their emotional and physical needs, any potential danger, the parenting abilities of the person seeking custody, and other factors such as the stability of the home environment. This child custody affidavit form may help you provide evidence to the court of how these factors apply to your specific case.
