Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
mentally disabled children
I have full custody of our twin sons who are severely autistic. My ex-husband does pay child support and he used to help me on the weekend with ours son. 2 years ago we had a disagreement and he has not been involved with ours sons since then because he is angry with me. I have had to quit a full time job because I was not able to keep up with all the commands my children needed. I have had to hire someone to help me with my sons because sometimes it is too overwhelming for me. I would like to know if I can get my ex-husband to pay half of the providers salary since he chooses not to be involved with our sons.

You might be able to get additional child support for the condition and care requirements of your children. You will definitely need the assistance of a good lawyer. Better see about getting one ASAP.
