Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Home Parent rights

I live in TX and my husband wants to be listed as the home parent. Our son will live with me but he wants to ensure I will not leave the area with him. We will share joint custody and I believe that will change the whole situation. I have not agreed to it but needed some more information on this matter.

Doesn't really sound like you or your husband really understands what the various terms mean. You should really talk with a good family law attorney.

FYI - joint custody really has nothing to do with where the child lives - it has to do with the rights and duties of each parent. A geographic restriction controls whether the child can be moved outside a particular area.
