Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Can a couple be considered "common law" married if they are legally divorced? If so, does this negate custody granted to the partner previously awarded?
My husband and I reconciled after being divorced for a year. We are not legally remarried. He won custody rights on the basis that I was in treatment for depression. If things do not work out in our reconciliation, will I lose my daughter again? We have been reconciled and living together for 3 years now. He constantly threatens that if I leave, I will lose her. Is he right?

You definately need to meet with an attorney to discuss your situation.
I don't think anyone can adequately address your issues in an email.
You might be common law married. Again, if you might not -- have not "agreed" to be married, told people you are married and done something to prove you are married (file taxes together or be in car insurance as a spouse).
I charge $1 per minute to sit and talk.
Email me at [email protected] for an appointment.
Another issue you need to think about is child support. If you and your ex are back together, you need to terminate any child support obligations.
