What is the name of your state? TX
1st Question: Is there any law or statute against a parent leaving state after filing for custody of the child w/o emergency or temporary orders in place. Do both parents have to agree on the one parent leaving state with the child and staying gone until the temporary hearing or does this constitute kidnapping if one parent just leaves? We are not married, just common law.
2nd Question: How long do I have to appeal a temporary hearing verdict? It's been 3 weeks since the hearing and the judge says she can stay out of state with my child until the permanent hearing in 6 months. I can only talk to my daughter on the phone, she is only 2 1/2!!! I wanted to appeal the same day but my custody attorney said it was hard to get an appeal for a temporary hearing and was unwilling to do it. Do I still have time to TELL him to appeal or is it too late?
