Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My wife and I have been raising my grandson since his birth. His mother notarized documents for us that allows us to take care of his medical, educational needs. However, after two years of livi g with us from his birth my son signed a document provided by his attorney acknowling him being my grandson's father. He has since filed for full custody. We along with his mother were awarded temporary custody. My son was awarded supervised visits. They failed to call or show up 90% of the time. Now that court is nearing they submitted a documentaski g for visitation with my two year old grandson which I was told. To sign.
1. We documented their not coming to pickup my grand while. When and how should the court be submitted this information. They are making it appear I was not supportive of court order for. Visitation. I was ver supportive even taking him over to visit when they did not show up.
2. He has threatened to shoot me he posted this on Facebook and told another person of his intentions. How do I get this before the court.
3. We have pictures of my grandbaby enjoying his birthday parties, medical records reflecting he has been well cared also documents showing him at library and going to church and participating with other children.
4. He has starting lying and.defaming my wife clmaking vile accusations. Of things that happened I guess thirty years ago. He has sent emails threatening this type actions.
5. May I look.at the file in district court. How do you get pictures records submitted to court.

I am concerned that the father of the child is represented by an attorney, but you are not. You have raised serious concerns regarding the safety and welfare of your grandchild, all of which require being able to produce, and get admitted, evidence of his conduct. It appears that you have a trial approaching, and need to get prepared quickly, contact an attorney in our area to discuss representation - your grandchild needs it.
Yes you can look at the file in the clerk's office. Getting evidence, including pictures, admitted in a trial can be difficult and complicated, which is why you need a lawyer. Child custody trials are not conducive to DIY. Good luck.
