It's true. They agreed to joint custody, no CS due to equal time, domicile restrictions of children within contiguous counties, etc. and the judge signed off on it.
Actually, he required them to make the change regarding contiguous counties, because before that my brother was requesting children be restricted to the same town and to have cp status for residential purposes.
I know this because I helped them make changes and corrections before they filed and after judge made notes on the original for the changes... I'm sure it's probably weird, but alot of things in Texas are.
LOL
I had assumed it was because with both parents showing up in court and agreeing, that the court would assume that both parents would have best interest of children in mind... We all know that isn't always the case, but seriously, they weren't asking the court to do anything but sign off on what 2 adults/parents were agreeing to.
Anyway, to OP. It really really really is in your best interest to consult an attorney.
