Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My rights
I have moved to Lubbock TX in April 2008. My question is I have a son and he is 2, I am fighting for my say in Lubbock only because I have a job and a home and I can provide for him better in Lubbock. I had court in Waxahachie this morning and they told me I had to move back, I can't afford to move back right now the father of the my son is on drugs and sells the drug as well he always drinks and drives when he has him I have tried everything , the father is on probation and has been put in jail cause they stopped him and took him in jail for having marijuana and i had to pick up my son at the police station. Well not to long ago it happened again but my son was not with him at the time, Im scared when has my son cause the dad has enimies now and if my son is ever to be with him they could shoot at him while he is with him I would like for him to have supervised visitation if possible. Im scared for my son, and I tried to tell the judge this but since I had no layer I was told that I had to stay here Im already set in Lubbock with medicade, a doctor for my son, a day care and I will have to wait another month to get him on medicade again for his ashma therefor I cant afford a month of waiting Please what can I do??

Re: My rights
It seems quite clear that you better get a good lawyer and get him/her yesterday. It should be very clear that you about to lose the child to a user/dealer. Seems like that ought to be wake up call enough. Good Luck.
