Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

When Mother wants a jury trial for custody when daughter signed legal paper to w

My husband's daughter decided she wants to live with her dad and signed the legal documents stating who she wanted to live with. Ever since that day the mother wouldnt let the child say good-bye to the dad or even see or talk to him. The child calls us and tells us she hates her mom from keeping her from seeing her dad. She was sent a certified letter (which we are suppose to do by divorce decree) to have child for summer mother had it returned to him and told him no that she was not going to let her come, And started taking her daughter to see a physiciatrist the daughter talks about running away and wanting to kill herself because her mom hounds her about this custody battle and down grades father all the time. We have a temporary order hearing coming up this month and the childs mother has some mental issues with hatred for the child's dad and is taking out on the kids to get revenge on husband.

Worried how do these things usually turn out child is ready to talk to enlightem assigned to her and the judge says she cant take it anymore? Do you think my husband has a good chance of getting her to keep her mental and physical state intake? And note excellent dad and father have my 3 children here and has stable career.
