Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Move Away vs. Grandparent as party of standing
Situation: I filed for divorce approximately three years ago, suit still pending: I was granted custodial conservatorship of three children. No child support, no spousal support, standard custody agreement with the exception that BOTH parties were to move to Denton, Tx. MY wife/stbexwife has huntingtons disease. Progressive nuorological disease, no cure, ending with loss of life. Her condition has continued downward. In an attempt to salvage a bad situation, we reconciled and moved to Wise County, where we lived on property owned by her mother. This is the third divorce after 10 years of marriage, we have tried..it doesnt work. Anyways, We rented a home from her mother who lived on the property as well, in a separate house. Now, with the custody agreement from 2002, I have moved to Denton as specified. I have the kids with me, in a new school. Her mother NEVER willfully was given authority over our kids by myself,my wife did allow her alot of time with them. Does she/could she have status as one who has standing*? I am going to file motion to finalize, as well as motion to amend visitation to supervised, if my move away is denied. Any thoughts as to the chances of success?

If your wife dies, her mother would have "standing" to get some visitation with the children.

Good luck,
