Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My son filed an Original Petition in Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship. His purpse is to receive Managing Conservatorship and have the mother be Possessory Conservator. They were never married, but lived together until the first of June this year. He has been paying support and has the child fullly covered on medical insurance. She is very young and making very bad decisions concerning the child. He wrote an agreement they could negotiate and once they had a mutual agreement, they could file it in court. That didn't happen, so in the petition, he asked the agreement be signed into an order by the judge. Well she has gotten a lawyer now, and tried to file a Temporary Restraining Order, but her lawyer screwed up and the order signed by the judge in stating my son the Petitioner has the temporary custody in his name with only supervised visitation by her.
Can we now take possession like the document reads or is her lawyer going to change it. This case is in Ellis Co. 378th Judicial District, I have done reasearch and I don't think anyone can get justice here. I am afraid for my grandson.

I don't practice in Ellis County, but I have handled one case there--and we got justice. So don't despair yet.
If the order gives him possession, then go take possession. If there was really a mistake (and you don't know for sure that there was a mistake), the judge will straighten it out later.
Your son needs an attorney ASAP. Self-represented litigants always lose.
