Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Child Visitation Regulations

My boyfriend was recently granted visitation for his toddler son. He was never married to his ex girlfriend, anyhow she found out my name and asked the court that I not be allowed around her son. Considering the fact that she took off to Texas after they broke up he's wanting to move there to have better visitation with his son and to be a part of his life. but with her asking the court that I not be allowed around his son that makes it almost impossible for us to move there together. What can we do? How can my boyfriend and I have a life together if his ex insist on his son not be allowed around me?

Re: Child Visitation Regulations

Your boyfriend needs to have a lawyer in Texas to represent his interests, including the issue of your presence. Unless you have a dangerous habits/conduct, and if your boyfriend's interests are being represented, then she may not prevail on this issue. There are many cases, however, which restrict the presence of overnight guests while the child is present. The court makes decisions based upon the evidence presented, that are in the child's best interest.

Re: Child Visitation Regulations

If the SC Court issued such an Order on a temporary basis, it can be changed at the final hearing. If the Order was issued in Texas, you will need to consult an attorney there.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case.
