Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
In Nov. of 2012 my ex husband pro se filed a modification of parent child relationship asking for full custody and requesting I pay him child support. My child was 4 at the time and he had not seen her in over 2 years and when our divorce was granted he had no visitation schedule. The modification was filed in 2012 but I have never been served. I hired a new attorney in May of 2013. She sent him a response stating that the modification was a form of harassment and frivolous. I've heard nothing further from him and he hasn't seen the child. There is a DWOP hearing in our county in Tx. set for June. Is there a statute of limitations on this given I was never served? Do we have to attend or will they just close the case?

Talk to your attorney. A DWOP is a dismissal. He may not attend to the DWOP. Your lawyer is doing all of this right.
