Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
non-custodial parent living temporarily living 100 miles apart
The dad has been working and living more than 100 miles away for the past 4 months and will continue for several more months. He says it is temporary. What timeframe is considered when the visitation rules apply to 100miles or more? Can he transfer his visitation to someone, like his mother, else in his absence?

Re: non-custodial parent living temporarily living 100 miles apart
There are no hard and fast rules for when the over 100 miles visitation kicks in. If it's a temporary situation and the dad wants to keep visiting under the under 100 mile rules, it's his gas.
Either conservator has the right to designate a competent adult (such as a grandparent, aunt or uncle, or new spouse) to pick up/turn over or drop off/receive the child on their behalf and to decide where the child goes during a period of possession. Actually transferring visitation rights is a different matter.
