Prima Facie Evidence: Evidence that is sufficient to establish a given fact or raise a legal presumption of paternity or liability unless effectively rebutted or disproved by the opposing party. In this context, failing to attend multiple court-ordered DNA draws serves as prima facie evidence of paternity.
Split Conservatorship: A custody arrangement in which siblings are legally separated, with one parent designated as the primary conservator of one child, and the other parent designated as the primary conservator of the other sibling.
Imputed Income (Minimum Wage Presumption): A judicial calculation where the court attributes a specific earning capacity (typically based on a 40-hour work week at federal minimum wage) to an underemployed, unemployed, or cash-paid litigant who fails to provide verifiable proof of income.
Deviation from Guidelines: A court-authorized variance from the statutory percentage of net resources prescribed for child support, which must be judicially evaluated to ensure it serves the best interest of the child.
Sole Managing Conservator (Sole MC): A legal designation granting one parent the exclusive right to make major decisions regarding the child's residency, education, and invasive medical treatments, usually assigned in cases involving severe safety or cooperation concerns.
Possessory Conservator (PC): A parent who retains parental rights and scheduled access to the child but does not have the primary right to determine the child's main residence or make primary legal decisions.
In Chambers Interview: A confidential, out-of-court interview conducted by a judge in their private office with a minor child to ascertain the child's wishes regarding custody, without the parents present to prevent parental influence.
Default Judgment: A binding judgment entered by the court against a party who has failed to file an answer, respond to a summons, or appear in court after being properly served with legal process.
