Q: My 13 year old's mother kicked him out on the 5th. We do not have primary custody of him, How do I begin?
He resides in Tarrant county and we live in Taylor county. His mother would be the kind of person that will not give up custody if it means she has to give up the child support. However we need to be able to enroll him in school and get him on insurance. He does have some ADD problems and she has not had him on meds in months. She has had him on psych meds instead. She also took him out of public school this year to home school him and it has not been going well. He was very behind even before he was home schooled. I have called the police in my home town to notify them of the situation. But of course this is a civil matter. So I am just curious where I need to start to petition for primary custody.
A: Consult with an attorney who is able to assist you in the county where the order was last pending. Explain this situation and consider modifying the order with the attorney's assistance. Good luck 888-343-4529.
