Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

divrce,child custody, and moving

I wanted the divorce, but not being able to afford it, my husband filed the papers. He apparently stipulated that he didn't want my 2 kids to leave the state of Texas even though he already knew I was moving both the kids and myself back to California. What can I do? What can be done?

Re: divrce,child custody, and moving

In Texas, a parent can ask that the minor children live in the county and any county touching the first county.

You need to hire an attorney immediately.

You are free to live anywhere you want. However, the children of the marriage are not free to do so.

You can be ordered to keep the children in Texas.

Good luck!

If you live in the Houston area, you can call me at 713-847-6000.

I suggest that you get a copy of the Texas family Code and read it. It is on line. I don't know the exact website.
