Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
If a couple is living together, but now legally married and share a child, is it legal for one parent to gain full custody of the child with supervised visitation from the other parent, without the knowledge of the other parent. It has been a year and the father has just learned of this judgement. He is now a year behind in child support. Because they were living together, he never received any paperwork, as she intercepted it. Is there any legal recourse he can take?

Dad needs to get a lawyer and go to court to prove that the couple is living together. This should terminate future child support. Depending upon the facts the lawyer may be able to attack the judgment awarding child support to affect unpaid child support.
I would run (not walk) into an experienced family law attorney's office. You will need to bring with you a certified copy of the current court order for the attorney to review.
In the Houston area, I highly recommend, PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405. Talk to Jessica in her office and tell Jessica that FRAN sent you.
Good luck!
