Can one parent leave state with child?
Does a parent need the permission of the other parent to move somewhere else in the same State, in a different State or Overseas if they want to relocate to live somewhere else with the child? A Court most certainly has the power to Order where a Child is to live, not just who the Child is to live with.
Can a mother take a child out of state without fathers consent in Texas?
Without established paternity and a court order confirming the father’s custody rights, the mother of the child can deny visitation or even move the child out of state without the father’s permission. That’s why it’s critical that unmarried fathers in Texas seek legal advice from a qualified child custody attorney.
What to do if your child’s mother won’t let you see your child?
If you don’t have a court order and you are not being allowed to visit your child, you will have to ask the court to enter a visitation order. You can do this through the divorce court (if you are divorced from the child’s other parent) or the paternity court (if you were never married to the child’s other parent).
Can you block your child’s father?
Courts are generally very reluctant to put such an order in place barring abuse, neglect, or some other extenuating circumstance. Unless a court order authorizes such action, one parent can’t block another parent with custodial rights from contacting their own child.
