What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
My daughter is 14 1/2, and has lived with her father for approximately 7 years. We all live in Texas. After we divorced, we had joint custody, but I was the custodial parent. I remarried, and that man became very abusive. For that reason, I called her father and told him that I was sending her to live with him, and signed papers making him the custodial parent. I did that for her safety, until I could escape.
I have now been away from him for several years with no contact. I am in a stable location, with a good job. She is wanting to come live with me. What is required to do this? She wants to try the schools here, live with me, and of course if she doesn't like this area, she is always able to go back. Is there a way to do a temporary change of custody??
