Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

If a decree has been finalized since 2006, but the other party keeps dragging me back to court for anything possible-even though the child and I have been residents of another state for over 10 months, will the original state relinquish jurisdiction to the state that the child and custodial parent are established in ( school for child and parent, remarriage, another child on the way )?

Is it possible to point out that the other party is keeping the case occupied in court for the sole purpose of causing the inability of the case to be transferred?

Am not sure what you mean by transferred. It is possible, regardless of the actions in the home state, to have the decree registered and enforced in another state. It is only under extremely limited circumstances that the new court could modify the existing order.
