Entitled Mom Pushes for Support — Judge Gives Dad Primary Custody!

A custody modification hearing takes an unexpected turn after Mom asks the court to name her the primary parent and require Dad to pay child support — but the final ruling goes in a very different direction. Mom tells the court that she handles much of the child’s daily routine, including school matters, medical appointments, scheduling, therapy, and other responsibilities. Dad disputes her claims, arguing that the existing week-on, week-off custody arrangement has been working well. He also explains that he provides the child’s medical insurance and points to the period when Mom moved to San Antonio while the child remained with him. During the hearing, the court reviews testimony and evidence involving school transportation, therapy appointments, missed medical visits, health insurance, extracurricular expenses, co-parenting messages, right of first refusal, and the parents’ fifty-fifty possession schedule. After considering the evidence and the child’s best interests, the judge keeps both parents as joint managing conservators and continues the week-on, week-off schedule. However, Dad is designated as the primary parent, child support is set at zero, and both parents are ordered to share uncovered medical, dental, and vision expenses. The court also keeps the co-parenting communication app in place. This case highlights how custody modification requests, child support disputes, parenting responsibilities, communication issues, and existing possession schedules can all affect a family court ruling.
