Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I am an adoptive parent of three children. Parental rights taken away from my daughter and her ex common law husband by CPS. He is in jail and daughter has a new love. At the start we agreed that three children ( who were of his blood ) to the Paternal grandmother. The fourth stayed with us, because of she might be native american and is from a different father. Grandmother had the children taken away from her house and place in foster home for not being able to protect the children from the father who had a Protective order against him and enabling him to come back by bailing him out of jail to beat my daughter again.
We went to court and the children stated with me for three years. Adoption finalized and now are told by the court that paternal grandmother can have unsupervise visits with children. I have issues and I am appealing. There are no grandparent visitation rights in Texas and after adoption I should be the one to give permission who can visit and who cannot. Or did I read the law wrong.
What can I do to stop this madness and get the family and children stable again

There are grandparent visitation rights in Texas, but they are very limited. The court would have to find that some serious harm would come to the kids if the grandparents were not able to visit. I would read that order VERY carefully--perhaps take it to a local family law attorney to find out what the judge really said IN WRITING.
Good luck!!
