I live in Texas this is my question: My boyfriend has just aquires joint custody of his 7 yr old son. There were issues before and he was not in his life before 6 months ago. The mother lived in another state she chose to come here and let him be a part of his son's life. They have joint custody papers and he pays 600 a month support plus 500 for private school. He is trying to do the best he can for the child and now she has decided that it would be better for her and the child to move with her boyfriend to oklahoma. She says that it is her desision and that it is her child and he can not win if he wants to fight her because she is the mother. There is a clause in the papers that says niether of them can move outside of dallas or tarrent county. He has spoken to a lawyer and is going to try for full custody, he does not want it he wants her to be a part of the child's life but he feels this is the only way that he can keep her from moving. Is that true? Can the court prevent her from taking the child? Is there a chance that they can reverse the joint cutody and give her full custody. It has been a trying time for all b/c they have week on week off visitation and it is also rough on the child to adapt to. Will that be a factor? I will not say that she is unfit but she is neglectful to some degree 3000.00 worth of dental work on his baby teeth when he got here was needed. She is also not as stable emotionally or financially as my boyfriend is. Can they use the past against him even though he has paper now? I know that you can not make up for missing out on your childs youth, but she kept the child from him, claiming that she did not need him in his like? Any answers would help. He does not want to take the child away but he is heartbroken over just getting a chance to e a part of his life and now she is threatening to take him away.
