My question involves a child custody case from the State of: TEXAS
I was divorced a few years ago, I did not read decree, and I was upset. My ex wife moved away with my child a year after the divorce so they have been gone for several years now. I was in an accident in 2007, since my accident I have only seen my child 3 times; I cannot travel due to complications from the accident. I do not have a positive relationship with her mother so nothing else has or can be worked out.
I plan on filing for rights since I currently only have supervised visitation at this time; I'm positive will be contested. My main concern is the other parent filing for a CHANGE OF VENUE then what? I cannot travel; I do not know anyone in her current state and wanted to know if this can be stopped? Yes the child has been there several years and that is her home. I think she is doing well in her new state and with her mother and new step father but I also want time with my child, she's mine after all. I'm concerning with parental alienation as well...my child (she's 8) has made comments such as I wish you didn't ever drink when married and then we could see each other (I am completely sober now, 4 years), when I moved in with my now wife my daughter called hysterically asking why I am choosing my new wife over her and her mother: this because her mother attempted to reconcile over jealousy not sincerity and now I'm paying for this.
Anyway, can someone please comment on what happens when venue changes and if it can be stopped and what happens if I don't know anyone in that new state, what happens since I can't travel?
Thanks
