Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Child Support and Divorce

She has an attorney. She needs to talk to her attorney.

It is appropriate for any other attorney to give advice since we don't know all the exact details.

The mother married the "jerK" and reproduced. They are going to be co-parenting this child for the rest of the child's life -- it goes way beyond 18! In fact, they will co-grandparent their future grandchildren. They need to learn to work together for the best interests of this innocent child!

Remember -- you are only hearing one side of the story.

Also, Texas likes to keep parents and kids close together.

The kid is a TX resident and the mother is free to live anywhere. Only the child is limited to Texas.

Re: Child Support and Divorce

When these matters are contested, Courts are very busy to hear these contests for a few hundred dollars of child support (not that it is not important to your daughter). With regard to moving to FL, maybe he doesn't think it's such a great idea for his daughter to leave someplace where he might be able to have a relationship with her rather than see her once or twice a year. Maybe the little girl would like to see her daddy more than a few weeks in the summertime and a week or so at Christmas. If you want to resolve these issues, you can ask the court for mediation. It might be required anyway. It will cost $600-$800, but you make make some progress on resolving these things. Good Luck.
