Are you a co-parent living in a state outside of Texas, but your child and ex-significant other now live in the state of Texas?
Was your Divorce Decree or Child Custody Agreement established in another state or country that neither parent no longer live in?
Looking to modify or enforce something within your orders?
Then you’ve come to the right place.
Living in the United States, it is not uncommon for people to separate and move to different places of the country to pursue different lives. But this causes stress, especially if one parent seems to be less cooperative in regard to what is stated in the orders.
Usually, this problem arises due to disputes surrounding child custody, and one or both parties are not being cooperative. In Texas, there is a process for out-of-state parents to seek legal relief for problems with child custody, visitation, support, etc.
Generally, three conditions must be met:
- The child or children must have been living in Texas for at least the last six months
- Neither parent lives in the state where the order was finalized and the court of continuing jurisdiction
- The order has not been modified
If you are an Out-Of-State Parent seeking to enforce or modify your decree or custody order from another state or foreign country decree or order in Texas, we will examine your case and let you know if you have a valid claim.
Our firm has direct knowledge of how this process works and can seek relief for you in the Hidalgo County court system in a quick and professional manner.
Contact our firm to schedule some time to sit down with our attorney to learn more about if you are a candidate to register and enforce/modify your out-of-state decree or order.
