Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Death of Custodial Parent
I had joint custody with my daughter's mother;however, she was the custodial parent. My daughter's mother died two days ago. I was told that I have to file a modification order to the prior custody order. What do I do? Or do I automatically get custody?

Re: Death of Custodial Parent
Unless someone objects to you having custody, you would get custody.Then there would be a custody fight. Since you are the parent, the person wanting custody would have the burden to prove why you should not have custody of the child.
I'm not allowed to give out my phone number any more.
However, I do offer a free phone consultation where I quote the price.
If you live in Harris or Ft. Bend county, you can call me next week.

Good luck!
