Can a child that is 18 months old have overnight visitation with his father? I was told that in Texas a child cannot stay the night until he/she is 3 years old? Just want clarification.

Visitation is up to the judge subject to the best interest of the child standard. Yes, if the court find it is in the child's best interest to see the father overnight at 18months old, then the father can get overnight visits. The 3 yr old date comes into play as to when it is presumed that a standard possession order is in the child's best interest.
