Re: Legal Trouble?
He is taking a risk that outweighs the outcome.
Although there are no current court orders from a Texas court prohibiting him from doing what you suggest, the fact is that all four of them have established Texas residency, and she will beat him to the courthouse. When she does, the court will require that he return the children, and his run will be evidence detrimental to him in court. He needs to get a Texas lawyer.
