How did she kick you out of your home? Only a court order can kick you out.
You are going to be ordered to pay child support for the twins assuming Mom has primary. Your child support will be reduced but not by much since you have a third child. If you are on the lease, the landlord can... View More
Riule 194 Discovery first of November he had until TODAY to answer Needless to at he HAS not ! What will happen now !???! He thinks he’s so wealthy & powerful that this will all disappear ! I also NEVER sighted a prenup !

Failure to answer a 194 only limits what evidence he can present at trial. You need to serve other written discovery as well. When that isn't answered, then proceed with motion to compel. Best to retain an attorney to handle all this for you.

In order to force visitation over the parents objections, you are going to have to show that the biological parents are "unfit". Its a very difficult burden. If CPS were to remove the children because the parents do drugs, then CPS may place the child with you. Unfortunately, Texas... View More

They can for a very brief time but must present a request for an ex parte order within I believe 72 hours. Only with your consent to a safety plan can they do so without a court order. So if you don't agree to removal, don't sign safety plan and force them to file suit.

The short answer - depends if you and your spouse can agree on orders for your child. If you agree - then almost anything is possible. Absent an agreement - then Court has to appoint a primary and set out a possession schedule for other parent - that most likely will be Standard Possession Order... View More

The Family violence is a factor but short answer - can he - possibly. However, even if family court grants visitation, bond conditions from criminal court may prevent access. He is likely going to have to the Court that granted the PO to modify the PO to allow access.

We have agreed on payment plans other then child support
answered on Dec 15, 2020
You can try and many courts will sign any agreed order. However some will review an order to see if support ordered and may question the parents to determine if child is being provided for. The only way to force a court to accept your agreement is with a mediated settlement agreement.
He owned a home when we got married. If we divorce can he try to claim part of what I buy after we separated?

If you are still married, any property you acquire is still community property and he would have an interest in it.
