Hello LadyBlu,
He has never established paternity legally, his name is not on their birth certificates but he and i know that he is the father. He has never denied that but he is using the kids as a pawn in order to get back at me for not still being with him. Since I live in Tennessee if I file suit here will he have to come here and face the music? Oh and by the way there has been several times that I have tried to file for legitimization but the juvenile courts said that there was no need since I wasn't trying to get childsupport and since his name was not on the birthcertificates, I was primarily the custodian. Being told this numerous of times and like I said when I go to Texas it is a different story he knows he has the upper hand since the kids are with him. I never said that I did not want us to share the kids but he doesn't want to be responsible and make a grownup decision to share.

File for custody and support in TN then. How long has he had the kids in TX? If less then 6mos, and you have had them previous to that then file for Sole Custody and Child Support there in TN. Keep a journal of phone conversations, emails, snail mails.. keep record of everything he says and does.. then ask the court for no out of state visits.
