Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
How can I take my son 16yo out of the County? I am primary parent in joint custody and the father's house is very unstable. The father and his wife are both alcoholics and there is fighting all the time. I live in Beaumont for work purposes and my son wants to come here with me. My 17yo daughter wants to stay with her aunt to be able to graduate with her friends and at that school. Their father said they can't and that he would disown them both. Please help.

I have no idea what "disown" means.
He can re-write his will and exclude them from his estate. Of course, he can do that anyway for any reason.
What you are truly asking is "will I be in contempt of court". The answer is that you have to read your divorce decree or the latest legal document. Is there a residency restriction? If not, then you can do whatever you want. If there is, then a judge might hold you in contempt of court if your ex decided to take you to court. If you move and he does nothing for 6 months then you are fine.
It appears you live in the Houston area. I recommend that you meet with an attorney in person and discuss your situation. Look on this website and on www.avvo.com for help.
