Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I'm on the last leg of my custody case. The last item filed was contempt of court against the father for non-payment of child support. How do I get back into the courtroom to finalize the hearing. I was found as sole managing conservator with the father having supervised visitation with a jury trial. What paperwork do I need to file to get the judge to finalize it. My lawyer won't go back into the courtroom without an substantial amount paid again. I don't have the finances anymore. I've given all that I can give. With the child support in place, I could start making regular payments again. But as it stands now, I don't have any extra monies. I could finish it myself if I knew what avenue to take.

It sounds as if you need to cook up a written order for the Judge to sign. If your lawyer is "holding you up" and refusing to do this last bit of work because he isn't being paid, you should consider firing him and hiring somebody else to do the job.
In the alternative, you can fire him and then cook up the order yourself.
