Frequently Asked Questions
-
Questions
-
Is custody granted to only one parent?
Answer
Not always. It is actually common for courts to grant at least partial custody to both parents—also known as joint custody. While joint physical custody refers to the child spending a substantial amount of time with each parent, joint legal custody refers to the parents determining important decisions together, such as those involving medical, educational and religious matters.
-
Will I have to take my case to court?
Answer
It is not uncommon for a child custody case to need to be taken to court. When you work with our firm, we will try to help you reach an amicable resolution; however, this is not always possible. If you are unable to resolve your case peacefully, we are prepared to represent you in court, where we will ensure your rights and your child’s interests are protected.
-
Can anyone other than a parent obtain custody?
Answer
In some situations, parties other than the child’s parents may wish to obtain custody, such as grandparents, an aunt, uncle, or family friend. This may be referred to as non-parental or third-party custody, and is often closely related to obtaining guardianship the child.
-
Why do I need an attorney?
Answer
The family law system can be complicated, and child custody processes can be personal and emotional. You need a lawyer who will guide you through the family law system, ensure your process goes as smoothly as possible, and help you reach a solution that is tailored to meet you and your child’s unique needs.

Denise Norman
Attorney at Law
Denise Norman founded The Law Office of Denise Norman in 2011 with the goal of providing compassionate legal guidance to individuals, families and businesses in her hometown community. Since that time, our law office has fulfilled this goal time and again, helping the good people of the local community resolve their legal matters with professionalism and honesty.
Before completing a double major at Sam Houston State University, Denise graduated from Conroe High School in 1998. She then graduated from St. Mary’s University School of Law in 2007 with her Juris Doctor and was admitted to the State Bar of Texas immediately afterward. Upon passing the bar, Denise and her husband started their family before Denise went into private practice. Now with a family of six, they are frequently involved not only in their children’s school and extracurricular activities. Denise also remains active with the Conroe Noon Lions’ Club, the Greater Conroe/Lake Conroe Chamber of Commerce and the Montgomery County Bar Association.
As an attorney, Denise understands that many individuals only seek legal counsel during the worst periods of their lives. She is also aware that many people do not have a chance to prepare themselves mentally, emotionally and financially prior to being thrust into conflicts within the legal system. Our goal is to bear the burden of the legal system and to provide our clients with the information they need to relieve the stress and anxiety of the often daunting court processes. We are committed to treating you in the manner we would treat our own loved ones.
