La Marque, TX asked in Divorce, Family Law and Child Custody for Texas

Q: My possession order states that if the custodial parent moves to a different county.

What happens if the custodial parent moves back to the same county? Am I then required to do the pick up and drop off once again? She has moved 4 times in the last 2 years and I do not see it to be fair for this to keep changing.

A: It is unfortunate that the custodial parent keeps moving with the child(ren). I can only imagine, if they are school aged, how it's affecting their schooling.

If the court order requires you to pick up and drop off at the custodial parents residence, then would have to do that until the court order is changed.

This is a good situation to file a request with the Court to modify your court order. There has been a material and substantial change in the circumstances that would warrant a change.

You should contact a family law attorney in your county to assist you with modifying your court order. Good luck to you.
