Odessa, TX asked in Family Law for Texas

Q: Texas family law question: I am a single Mom with an 8 year old daughter. I have been in a relationship for 10 months.

My parents are extremely conservative and show disapproval of my boyfriend/my relationship. He’s 40, I’m 29. He has no criminal record and I don’t either. My parents say I am endangering her by letting him stay the night. He has never been abusive or anything to either of us & treats us with upmost respect. He has been married three times & my parents hold that against me. They had nothing to say when my brother/his wife lived together before marriage.

A: What is your question? If it is whether your parents can gain custody of your child with the facts you have given I would say no. Good luck.
