Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I am the custodial parent looking to lift the geological restrictions. I currently have to reside in Denton county or any surrounding county. I understand the restrictions are in the best interest of the child, but my fiance and i were looking to move out of state for his job re-location. How should i go about approaching this? I dont have a lot of money to spend on an attorney to fight this. I need to know the likeliness of a judge agreeing to this and how to go about doing this the easiest and least expensive way. Or will i be forced to stay here and risk losing my relationship over this. Some help or advice would be great. Im at a loss of what to do..Thanks!

You've already admitted that the geographic restriction is in the child's best interest, so you've already admitted that you will lose the suit to lift the restriction.
If the other parent exercises all of his visitation and he still lives in Denton County, Texas and counties contiguous thereto, you are not likely to win such a suit anyway. You'd need some high-octane facts for the court to put your fiance's job opportunity ahead of the child's interest in having a close and continuing relationship with both parents.
