I have an agreed order with 2-2-3 schedule while living with spouse during divorce. I want to move out and ask the court for primary custody.

The procedure would be to file a motion seeking that kind of relief. But any major life change like moving needs to be done by an appropriate court order. You would be wise to hire counsel to assist in this process.

No. The mother's better course is to do nothing. If the father petitions, then the fights begin. The mother should not start a confrontation when one is not needed.
I filed a petition in Tarrant County to have my case moved to Collin County (where the kids and I reside) and to modify the order. My ex husband filed his own petition 6/14 without actually answering mine. I was informed that I can not move forward until I am served or I should reach out to his... Read more »

Look in your county and see if there are volunteer lawyers. If you don't have a lawyer I would wait until you are served,
We have an agreement that states 3 non consecutive weeks. My ex-wife sees this as an opportunity to take 21 days as she sees fit. I have been instructed this is incorrect and am looking for further advice
answered on Jun 28, 2022
Non-consecutive means not in a row. Normally that would mean 3 separate weeks, however, it can br intertpreted to allow 2 consecutive weeks, but not 3. You should consult a local attorney to go over your specific matter.

I really need more background on the case to get an understanding of the nature of the claims being made and the procedural history of that matter. Courts are almost always going to recognize the superiority of a parent over a non-parent. That being said, there are situations such as abuse ,... Read more »

I’m not sure if the injunction was a civil one, a DCF injunction or a criminal no contact order. It may be a combination of things. In any event, you need to file an action for dissolution of marriage or a paternity action. I would strongly suggest that you hire a qualified family law attorney to... Read more »

This is a shared parenting issue and may possibly be addressed in your parenting plan under communications. If not it is still a shared parenting issue . You should consult with a qualified attorney to discuss the situation and give a good analysis as to how to proceed forward

My 3yr old child’s dad hasn’t seen, talked or supported her in almost 2 years. And his mom is the type to fight me in court to get visitation rights for her. Bc i don’t feel comfortable with her taking my child 5hrs away without me there, and she knows this but still keeps pushing about.
answered on Jun 26, 2022
Texas grandparent rights are very limited. I doubt she could prevail in court. Her son could get visitation and the grandparent could see the child on his time
My son's mother is trying to take me to court to invoke rules on where I can take my son and who I can take him around. She's using her mom's health as a reason for this due to her MS. Her mom is a caretaker of Logan when he's not in my custody/when she's at work. Thank you!

Your son's mom can get a court order but she can't keep you taking your son around family unless there is a danger

My ex fought for full physical custody of our son and I ended up agreeing to it for a variety of reasons.

Sure, you can file a motion for contempt/enforcement. On the other hand, it might be beneficial to consider filing a modification action and pick up some child support along the way. Support should be retroactive to the date she stopped exercising access. Talk to an experienced family law attorney.
The court has issued temporary custody of my child on allegations of child abandonment and neglect however failed to provide any proof of this and I am restrained from having any contact with them until my next court date on Friday.

You do not say which court entered the order removing your child. The Court will usually err on the side of protecting the child on an emergency basis, but evidence had to have been presented to cause a Judge to make such a ruling. However, the hearing on Friday will be an opportunity to test the... Read more »
