What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
So I am the sole managing conservator for my 5 1/2 year old son. His dad sees him on every other weekend. Well his dad is in the Marine reserves and I am thinking about joining the military myself. His dad is married already and I am getting married in June 2009. When I plan to leave for basic, it will be during the summer and his dad's time to have him. I will be gone for 2 more weeks after my son will be back from his dad's for the summer. What I would like to know is if his dad can take me to court and try to get full custody or sole custody of my son since I am making this decision? This is like the basis of my decision on whether I am going to go or not. I know that since I live in Williamson County in Texas, they don't award the father custody unless the mother has done something really bad, but thats just off what I have heard from other people who have been in the child custody process. So if anyone could shed some light on this and let me know about the Texas Law that would be great and much appreciated. And I am sorry if this is not the right forum to post on, please let me know and I will post it somewhere else. Thank you
