Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Rights of non-custodial parent
My ex wife, of approx 4 years, has full custody of our 2 children. She has remarried and her new husband has 3 children of his own, 1 of which lives in their home.
My oldest child is having some issues at school, and I am wanting--name removed--discuss with her various potential (as of yet, nonexistent) situations that might lead--name removed--me becoming his custodial parent. These might be faling multiple classes, extreme behavior problems, etc.
She refuses--name removed--discuss these with me, even as a potential, saying ''that will never happen'', etc.
What rights do I have, if any,--name removed--demand specific issues be addressed or at what point do I have an outright legal redress in seeking custody of my son due--name removed--such issues?
Thank you.

Re: Rights of non-custodial parent
You ask a question that cannot adequately be addressed in an email.
If you'd like to call me at 713.847.6000 or 713.805,9591, I will try to help you if your case is in Ft. Bend County or Harris County.
If there has been a change of circumstance, and since she remarried it sounds like there has been a dramatic change, you might want to modify the current orders.
If your child is over the age of 12, he/she can designate who they would prefer to live it. It is NOT binding on the judge.
You need a certified copy of your last court order to take to any attorney you talk to, so if you don't have a copy, please get one now!
Good luck!
