Re: custody issue

You need to hire a lawyer. You have a procedural problem that you are not likely to be able to sort out for yourself.

Re: custody issue

You definately need an attorney.

Before you hire one, you need a certified copy of the current court order.

You can get a copy ($1 per page) at the Harris County Civil Courthouse in downtown Houston on Caroline. You go through a metal detector. You can order a copy on the 2nd floor.

Then read the document and take the copy and anything else you think is relevant to an attorney.

There are many excellent attorneys on this website.

Best of luck!

Happy Holidays!
