Child custody cases in Conroe are decided in Montgomery County's five family district courts — 410th and 418th. Each courtroom has its own culture, and knowing how each judge approaches conservatorship, possession, and the best interest of the child is a real advantage.
Ryan Putz has litigated child custody cases throughout the Montgomery County court system since 2017. He brings significant trial experience — including contested custody hearings, bench trials, and jury trials — to every case he handles.
Joint Managing Conservatorship
​
Most Texas custody cases result in Joint Managing Conservatorship, where both parents share rights and duties regarding major decisions. Ryan Putz negotiates JMC arrangements that are fair, workable, and structured to minimize future conflict.
​
Sole Managing Conservatorship
​
In cases involving documented family violence, substance abuse, or endangerment, Sole Managing Conservatorship may be appropriate. Ryan Putz builds the evidentiary record necessary to support or defend SMC claims in Montgomery County courts.
​
Standard Possession Order
​
The Texas Standard Possession Order is the default framework, but many Conroe families need modifications to address work schedules, school locations, extracurricular activities, and long-distance parenting. Ryan Putz negotiates and litigates customized possession orders.
​
Contested Custody Hearings
​
When parents cannot agree on custody arrangements, the case goes before a judge — or in some Montgomery County cases, a jury. Ryan Putz has significant experience in contested custody hearings and approaches every case with the preparation required to win in the courtroom.
​
International Custody
​
Ryan Putz has successfully litigated an international child abduction case under the Hague Convention, securing the return of a child from Mexico to Texas. If your custody matter has an international dimension, Ryan Putz has the experience to handle it.
