Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: Moving to the U.S on L1 visa with kids

You will need to have an authenticated copy of a custody order from the India court in which the divorce is pending. Doesn't sound like you have that. Good Luck.

You should apply for custody in the same court where divorce is pending. If you get the court order, there shouyld not be any problem

Re: Moving to the U.S on L1 visa with kids

If no case or proceeding regarding custody of children is pending,then there is no hassel to take children to Texas.After all you are the natural guardian of children.However,embassy may ask proof or order of court that custody of children is with you and if that is so, then you have to move necessary application in court where the divorce case is pending and can seek permission of court to take the children to Texas.In case of need you may contact me.Professional charges are applicable.

Re: Moving to the U.S on L1 visa with kids

You should make an applicatin to the court where your case is pending for divorce seeking permission to take the children to USA. You will need to persuade the court on the basis of your employment in USA; AND on the basis of admission of the children in a good school there. You need to disclose which city in Texas you are likely to reside and what kind of schooling you may be able to provide for your children. Keep in mind that your wife is entitled to maintenace on the basis of your status of living.
