Re: custody of children

Internet forms and notarized forms are no good to get custody of children. Only a court can grant custody. If you don't have a court order, then you are likely wasting your time. And, LA will not recognize a TX order unless it goes through their court system. You better get a lawyer. You haven't saved any money yet.
