\"iStock-1139699594-300x200\"A trial court in a Texas custody case that appoints both parents joint managing conservators must determine which parent will have the exclusive right to determine the child\u2019s primary residence.\u00a0 The court must also either establish a geographic restriction or specify that there is not a geographic restriction on the child\u2019s residence.\u00a0 The court\u2019s primary consideration is the child\u2019s best interest.\u00a0 The Texas supreme court has identified a number of factors to be considered in determining if relocation is in a child\u2019s best interest: reasons in favor of and against relocation; the effect on the child\u2019s relationships with extended family; the effect on the other parent\u2019s visitation and communication with the child; whether a visitation schedule could allow the child and other parent to maintain a full and continuous relationship; and the nature of the child\u2019s age, ties to the community, and educational and health needs.\u00a0 Lenz v. Lenz<\/em>.<\/p>\n

A mother recently appealed<\/a> a trial court order naming the father as the conservator with the exclusive right to determine the children\u2019s primary residence with no geographic restriction.\u00a0 The parties got married in 2014 and had two children.\u00a0 The husband was an Army officer, stationed at times in Georgia and Louisiana. He was stationed at Fort Hood in 2018 and the parties bought a home in Belton.\u00a0 The wife started school for nursing in Austin in 2019.\u00a0 They decided the husband would leave the Army in the fall of 2020.\u00a0 The wife told the husband she wanted to separate in January 2020.\u00a0 The husband petitioned for divorce the next month.<\/p>\n

The trial court granted the divorce and appointed both parents joint managing conservators, with the husband having the exclusive right to designate the children\u2019s primary residence.\u00a0 The mother appealed.<\/p>\n
