If you wish to change any Texas court order, you must file a Petition to Modify Parent-Child Relationship and set it for a hearing before the Court of exclusive jurisdiction.
You should read your current court order thoroughly because it is unclear from your post if there is a geographic... Read more »
I have been very careful to avoid having our living situation qualify as a common law marriage under Texas law. I did designate my live-in friend as my domestic partner for health insurance purposes when I was working, but there was never a formal agreement of any kind. I own 100% of the house we...

My 3yr old child’s dad hasn’t seen, talked or supported her in almost 2 years. And his mom is the type to fight me in court to get visitation rights for her. Bc i don’t feel comfortable with her taking my child 5hrs away without me there, and she knows this but still keeps pushing about.

Texas grandparent rights are very limited. I doubt she could prevail in court. Her son could get visitation and the grandparent could see the child on his time
My son's mother is trying to take me to court to invoke rules on where I can take my son and who I can take him around. She's using her mom's health as a reason for this due to her MS. Her mom is a caretaker of Logan when he's not in my custody/when she's at work. Thank you!

In your situation, since you are soon to get sworn in as a US citizen, the fact that your wife has separated from you would not be of any consequence at this time. As long as you are still legally married, which it sounds like you are, you should be good to go for your naturalization. USCIS has... Read more »
I was just wanting to know what could be the outcome of both situations. Since I was recently charged with filing a false report does that mean the charges against the other person will be dismissed?
answered on Jun 22, 2022
The prosecutor is not REQUIRED to drop the charges against the other person but it would be foolish not to drop them unless your retraction did not cover all of the criminal behavior alleged against the other person. For example, if your retraction statement said "he threatened to chop me up... Read more »

You need to act fast. You should go get a copy of the Estate Paperwork, etc. They may have been required to serve you, and didn't, or created some other legal issue. However, if you do not get it all straight, you may lose anything you should have received. It sounds like you had at least 1/2... Read more »
