Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
OK I want honest prospectives and what you think. Right now me and my ex share custody of the children. WE switch every few days. I recently got a new better job and was wanting to move about 45 minutes from where i live now. I have been dating my bf for a year now and will more than likely get married this year so we will be getting the house together. So if I go to court to try to get primary custody what do you think? Heres my case. BTW i have 2 girls and 1 boy all under 10 years old. My ex has been dating a girl for about 3 years and lives with him as well. She has one kid living with them as well.
Right now where i live there arent many extracurricular activities and such and also have them in day care for the time being. With my new job I will be able to pick them up from school if I move to midland. So here are my arguments besides that. 1. I will be able to pick my kids up from school every day so I can focus on hw and extracurricular activites. 2. We will have a room at the house for each of them. At their dads they each share a room. 3. When i have custody of them each week i pick them up and take them to school. Not sure if this matters but the dad rarely takes them. His gf pretty much takes them and picks them up everyday because of his job hours. 4. I will be close to them if something happens. My ex and his gf both work atleast 30 minutes away from the school where they are now. 5. When the kids get sick im the one that almost always take them to the dr. Which i can get records for. Same goes with the braces and anything else they need. If not then his gf usually takes them 6. I attend there school meetings such as parent teacher everytime and he only makes it sometimes. 7. For hw i have noticed it his gf signing and helping the kids with everything because she is always signing the stuff. 8. I want my kids to have a life outside of school and day care and this would really help with extracurricular activites. With my job I work from home most of them and make pretty good money. I would be able to get them right after school and start hw so we can do other things. Right now by the time we get them they do there hw and go to bed. And when sports are going on its sometimes late by the time they are done.
I think without his gf he would be lost. But its not her responsibility right. Its not her kids!! Im grateful she helps and everything and shes been great to my kids. We get along just fine as well. I think they should be with their mother and i think i have a good case. Would love some feedback on this. Anything would help!!
Im sure I Left out more but if you have questions or prospective please feel free

You will lose. You have to show a material and substantial change in circumstances, which you apparently cannot do. You make a good case why it would be better for the children, but nothing you mention makes a very good legal case.
