Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Hi, my name is Charli. My question has to do with my stepdaughter and her biological mother. The mother hardly ever comes around and finally in the last 2 months has decided to come see my stepdaughter, of which we are not against. however we recently found out that she tried to kill herself in the last 3 months because of an ex-boyfriend, and the man who "saved" her is now her boyfriend that she lives with. Of course our concern is, what happens when this boyfriend breaks up with her, will she try again, but this time around my stepdaughter. This is her 4th boyfriend in the last 2 years, and has lived with each one. This time however she not only lives with her boyfriend, but several other people all of whom we dont know. We feel that if my stepdaughter goes and stays the night with her bilogical mother that irrepracable damage may be caused. Is there anything like an injuction we can place to have supervised visits, or anything to help keep my stepdaughter in a safer enviroment?
The answer given to me was seek for an order to modify custody. My next question would be, her mothers weekend is coming up, is there anything we could do to temporarily protect my stepdaughter?

HIre a lawyer immediately, to file immediately, requesting a TRO to stop the weekend visitation. You will have to move very quickly if you want to try to stop the weekend possession.
