How hard will it be to reverse my custody in texas

Texas

i have temporary sole custody of my 13 year old old daughter until Her mother does 6 months consecutive court supervised in county visits. I live in Texas she walked out on her child and moved to New York. She was ordered to pay child support and I only received 3 payments in three years and the only reason I got those were Because I had to fax the documentation to employer myself, she doesn't feel she needs to support her since she gave birth to her. she has only seen her kid once and that is because I visited family in Vermont and her sister brought her to see her, she hasn't followed anything the court has asked her to do, she heard that ny has filed legal action on behalf of Texas for the child support so she fled to Kentucky she was ordered by the court to report address changes to the court and never has, and I have no idea where she lives, i am fearful that if I let her have shared custody she will disappear off the face of the earth. Because she has threatened it several times. I am on social security disability and I get a check for my daughter because I am disabled, now she wants custody of my daughter for the check, and I have in writing where if she doesn't get unsupervised visits she will tell social security disability I am spending her check on my girlfriend who has lived with me for two years (which is not true). And then take me to court and fight for full custody. But since she hasn't done a thing the court has ordered her to do how hard will it be for her to overturn the court decision. Or will they automatically favor her since she is the mom

Courts now decide on 'best interests of the child' and 'status quo'. 'Tender years doctrine' & 'children are property of the father' have pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur.

She can tell the SSA whatever she wants. As long as your filing the yearly paperwork for how your daughter's dependent benefits are being spent, SSA should not be a problem.

okay I understand what you are saying about the ssa but in lay men's terms what are you trying to say about the custody I'm not up to snuff on legal terms. Does that mean I have a better chance than not of custody order being revised and losing custody of my child, even though her mother has refused to comply to any part of divorce/custody papers

 

[KatDini]

Status quo is the way things are. Mom is not going to be awarded custody, because she hasn't had custody three years(?). Without a SIGNIFICANT change in the child's life (custodial parent goes to prison, is convicted of child abuse) that warrants changing custody to better the child's circumstances, Mom isn't going to achieve anything but a legal bill.

thanks I appreciate the help, I know she has dodged every attempt that the Texas atty general has made to get an arrest warrant for the child support served to her because i have no address, it she showed up in court for custody wouldn't she run the risk of being arrested on the spot for the 17k she owes in back support

You answered your own question using DEDUCTIVE and INTUITIVE reasoning.

I suggest you stop communicating, or heeding anything this creature says.

People tend to sue, not threaten to sue.


The CRITTER wants to yank your chain, kick your can, get your goat, urinate in your face, and lead her disgusting deadbeat life.

Live your life, raise your kid with the expectation you'll never see a dime of what that deadbeat owes.

Your reward will be the day your kid becomes a productive adult, and just watching a child become a responsible adult. That's a parent's biggest reward, not some filthy lucre from a deadbeat womb.
