I believe the answer will be in your child support order. In Texas the language usually states until child turns 18 or graduates from highschool whichever comes "last". So if they turn 18 while a senior in highschool you would still pay the support until after they graduate.

I am not sure what you mean by the statement sign over rights - whether it is permanent or you're talking about temporary custody.

If your child si out of State for a certain period of time, your mother-n-law may have grounds to seek custody in the other state.

You will need certain paperwork giving you authority to enroll her in school and giving you authority for medical treatment. You should speak with a family law attorney in your area for more detailed information.

No, you cannot just take someone's dog. I would suggest asking them if you can keep the dog. Otherwise, make a complaint to the appropriate agency if you do not want the behavior to continue.

No you can't force someone to have a job. It sounds like you may be mad that she is living off of your child support. Remember your support goes for things like your child's roof over their head, food, clothing, transportation, etc. It isn't meant to be an allowance that gets passed to them.

Call different lawyers and explain your case facts then they will quote you an approximate fee.

Ms. Garrett is correct. The best thing to do is to try and find the Court records to see if each estate was probated. You might also research the county deed records where there was real property. Consult with a lawyer where the estates were located.

I am sorry for your loss. The VA may also be able to help you with this or point you to a veteran's organization in your area that can assist you with this. You might also try finding a probate attorney who is a veteran as they may be able to help you navigate the veterans benefits area.

The State of Texas will seek to recover the costs it pays out through medicaid from the other parent if possible.

Consult with a family law attorney regarding the actual language in your order. Sometimes the order refers to specific counties but also speaks of contiguous (bordering) counties.

Until there are actual court orders for possession and access to the child/children and whether or not there are any geographical restrictions on where the parents can live, the parent can move that child anywhere. It's a good idea to get an order in place rather than live in fear or under threat.

I was going to suggest APS - Adult Protective Services as well for reporting elderly abuse.
