Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Children live in another state
My children live in another state with
their mother. The court ordered us
each to pay our own one way for the
girls. I want to fly the girls home for
a three day weekend and I scheduled
them to fly out after 6pm. Since my
visitation is from 6pm on Friday to
Monday at 6pm because of a holiday.
Their mother got them a flight home
for 7am monday morning. Can I
make her get a later flight? I dont
mind them leaving in the early
afternoon so they will get home in
time for a school night. But she is
doing this to just be mean.
Unfortunately the court papers do
not go over this. Please help

Re: Children live in another state
Without a specific direction in the order, and with her having the option of making return flight arrangements, the real problem you face is how do you make her do that? It is unlikely that you can hire a lawyer, file a petition, serve her and get it heard before this Friday. You might prevail in court, if you were willing to pay the extra fare (if any), but you don't have enough time to get in front of a judge. If you can't negotiate your way into a better return flight, then you are just stuck. You should start planning now for Thanksgiving and Christmas breaks.
