Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

If the morality clause was not spoken of in the courtroom is it likely to be in my court orders? I have no received the paperwork and it seems it will be a long time until I do. Everything else was discussed in great detail, the right of right refusal, me having the sole discretion to make medical decisions about my daughter, child support, no smoking etc. There was no mention of the morality clause at all. I was wondering if it's something that would be added without knowledge or even being asked for. I asked for the right of first refusal and it was talked about at great length. So, just to make sure I'm being clear (I have a tendency to go off subject) my question is, without the morality clause even being mentioned in the court room or being asked for (to my knowledge the father did not and I know I did not) will that clause be in the final orders concerning custody, visitation and child support?

I would presume that it will not be in the final paperwork if it was a subject which was never mentioned in court. However, you will need to look at the final paperwork actually entered to know for sure.

I agree with Attorney Bruce Zivley - as I always do on this website & on www.avvo.com. He does an excellent job answering these free legal questions for people.

I never guarantee anything 100% - that would be foolish on my part. I assume you had an attorney - if so call him/her for their input If you did not have an attorney representing you, this is another reason why I recommend legal counsel during a divorce, you need an advocate in your corner during a divorce. Good luck.
