Plano, TX asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: CPS filed a non-suit and awarded me sole managing conservator in one letter. What visitation schedule is used?

There have never been any final orders made. The previous temporary orders gave my ex wife 1 hour of supervised visitation a week. Before CPS was involved she received 50% of the time.

A: It is difficult if not impossible to answer such a specific question on a specific case. I suggest that you contact a lawyer and show him or her whatever paperwork you have. However, based on the way you wrote your question, if there were temporary orders in place before CPS got involved, then CPS got involved and they affected possession and visitation and now they are no longer involved, it is likely that the original temporary orders are back in effect.

A: You need to consult with an attorney about your specific situation. In general, whichever order was the last one signed by a Judge is the order that is in effect. In general, if a case is closed with only temporary orders, the temporary orders are no good and you go back to whichever Final order was the last final order.
