I am the custodial parent, however he took her for a visit and refused to give her back and then had a restraining order files. . The hearing has been reset to mid October as he is required to get a nail drug test bc he is an addict and is on felony probation. Since it has been over 14 days since... Read more »
Under the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, a Temporary Restraining Order usually expires on its own 14 days after it has been issued. TRO's are often extended, however. I suggest that you call the District Clerk to ask.
Can I do that without his consent
Anyone in fear of the safety of themselves and their children must get themselves out of harm's way.
I suggest that if you do not have a court order in place already regarding custody, visitation, and financial support that you hire a lawyer as soon as possible to get one.
If you are indigent then yes. The judge will determine that based upon an affidavit.
There has to be a custody suit filed and a motion for the judge to confer with the child. Technically, this can be done without a lawyer, but it would be difficult. The judge is required to consider the child's opinion, but it is only factor in the judge's decision.
Have been "allowed" facetime visits only since March due to Covid. Been Sundays 1230 - 230 but kids started to just hang up with no explanation after 15mn to an hour. Told them next visit will be 2pm - 4pm Saturday inperson wherever they want. Replied we couldnt force them to go or stay????
Hire a lawyer to assist you with enforcing your custody rights. You may also want to consider getting a court order for family counseling to figure out why the children are resisting attending visitation.
After I got in some legal custody my parents took me to court and the judge gave them conservatorship of my daughter. It has been over a year and I have taken a nail drug test at their request. What do I do now?
Consult with an attorney to see if a modification is likely at this time. There are a lot of factors to be considered other than the nail test result.
I have tried contacting her multiple ways and she ignores all communication when I ask about our daughter ... we are still married just seperated and she filled for divorce 3 days after the baby was born in may but has not furthered the process, my two sons cry to see their sister almost...

You should hire a lawyer to assist you with moving the divorce forward and get your legal visitation rights started.
Our son, has bad allergies. He has a good computer job and works from his home. If he allows his girlfriend to move in, can he make her move out? What if he cannot get along with her and needs to end the relationship? What are legal issues?
If son's girlfriend has no ownership interest in his house and is not on any lease agreement in connection with the house, he can have her evicted.
I filed for modification of custody. My ex husband drove drunk to police station with our child, assaulted me, and evaded arrest. Before that, he was sending me threatening and harassing text messages constantly. He also refuses to refinance the car that he was awarded in the divorce so its... Read more »
It would be difficult for your to represent yourself under the facts that you described. The law in this area can be very technical.
I recently got a new job that pays substantially more. Is it my responsibility to have the child support amount increased?
I know a review to modify can be requested by the custodial parent whenever she wishes. I'm asking if I'm required to self-report that I make more money... Read more »
The Texas Family Code does not require you to self report an increase in income.
He has motion to revoke parole & misdemeanor its non violent crime. Is there any motion or legal document I can help my husband with? What can I do to get the parole hold off him?? During this covid virus could that help him in his case 8th amendment??
Hire an attorney who focuses on parole work AND a criminal defense attorney for the trespassing case. Parole work is very different because it follows different rules so having one attorney who does both is not ideal. As they say, the jack of all trades is the master of none.
I'm being denied my visitation with him and have been informed that instead of him being with his father, his is with the fathers ex girlfriend and she is living outside of Tom Green County. Thanks,
You would likely need to consult with a lawyer in the county where the Court is that rendered the last custody Order.
In order to prevail on a Motion to Modify custody, you have to prove two things: 1) A substantial and material change of circumstances on the part of the mother, the father, the child or some combination of the three, and 2) that the requested modification is in the best interests of a child. I... Read more »
My husband has had his girlfriend spend every weekend he has my kids we don’t have orders yet so he says there’s nothing I can do
If a lawsuit has been filed and Tarrant County has a Standing Order that applies to all pending family law cases, then the answer to your question can be found in the Standing Order. If no lawsuit has been filed, the answer to your question is likely no.
This question is unclear. Are you asking if a second person can be required to pay child support for the same child?
If you have a lawyer, you need to ask her or him.
he doesn't pay child support either, he hasn't paid anything since 2014 i believe and the child support office closed my child support case regarding to the reason that the kids will be 18 or older when he gets out of jail.
No.
my wife and i are separated and she moved from San Antonio TX to Henderson NV, she did not notify me that she was moving. I have not seen my son since April, because she has been using covid as a reason, but she sent my mother a letter that she left town along with photos of my son from trips she... Read more »
If there is an Order in place authorizing you to have visitation, she cannot legally use the COVID crisis as a reason to deny you visitation. Also, if there is a geographic restriction on your son's residence, she may be in contempt for moving your son out of that area.
My son is almost 15 and his dad and I get along very well. Is there a way I can cancel out his child support to the attorney general so he no longer has to pay anymore? Or do I have to go through my attorney to do that? we have been divorced now for 8 years. Thank you
You could ask the Office of the Attorney General to create on Order Terminating Child Support and an Order Terminating Income Withholding. If the OAG does not do it for you, however, y'all will probably have to get an attorney to draft them for you.
If the non custodian parent filed for a modification due to being laid off and he got his job back can he cancel the request for a modification if it hasn't been established yet? It didn't help any to ask for a modification because it took forever and I got my job back before it was even modified.
Yes, the Movant who filed the Motion to Modify can file a Notice of Non-Suit.
