The issue of a domicile restriction is frequently contested at the time of divorce. The usual restriction usually involves allowing the right to establish the residence within a certain county and all other counties contiguous thereto. There are other issues to consider, such as the history of contact between the father and the children and which Court/Judge is deciding the issue. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. I would be glad to discuss this issue further with you if you would contact me directly.
