Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Legal rights of new wife

I just got married and up until this point have had no issues dealing with him children's mother (never married). Since then she refuses to communicate with me and insist on only talking with the boys father. I was wondering if since I am his wife if she had a legal obligation to speak with me regaurding the children.

You're only the step mother and a new one at that. Why don't you give it some time and show her your good intentions. Let your actions show you're an ally not an enemy. While it would be in the children's best interest if the two of you could communicate there is no law that says she has to talk to you.
