Q: what happens if both parents get married to each other while haveing a custody hearing with a child they share? In texas
We are dealing with court but we both got back together and the case keeps getting pushed out and we both want to end it . we no longer have a need to go to court
A: Child support and custody orders in Texas will state right in the order that they cease to be effective if the parties marry each other. But you don't need to get married to end the current litigation. Whoever brought the current suit needs to file a non-suit, telling the court that they want to drop it, and the court suit will be over. If the action was brought by the attorney general's office, and you have since gotten married, you should contact the attorney general and tell them about the marriage and they should drop the suit.
