    Comments: When visitation rights and/or joint custody are challenged and can be backed up with evidence of any abuse, violence, drug abuse, alcoholism, drunk driving, criminal record for ANY offence...the judge should take all these factors under advisement before rendering a ruling on automatic custody and/or visitation rights! The state sponsored abuse of children must stop!

    Comments: I left my ex after 12 yrs. After i had my daughter my ex changed, he became more into things such as guns and Republic of Texas, he stocked up on food, water,MRE'S and such for the 2000 thing. And that wasn't all neither. He bought gas masks, changed $5000 into gold and silver. all the things that he bought he buried. To top it all off he is marijuana dealer. He also has a record. I don't have a record. and never been in trouble. I lost custody well, sort of. We have joint custody but he has primary. I only get my daughter 1st,3rd, and 5th Thursday - Monday morning every month. and every 2nd and 4th Tuesday - Wensday morning. My lawyer would not bring up his past. so needless to i miss my daughter terribly. before we separated i took care of my daughter 24/7 for 4yrs. i didn't work. And now I don't have the money to fight for custody again.

    Comments: Wd have the situation that neither parent is a "fit" parent. We have temp orders til Feb. so I feel like the judge has finally seen that maybe we are right. However we still have to let the mother have him without supervised visits. This is wrong!

    Comments: I too am fighting for sole custody of my three children from a failed marriage. Along with abuse, there has been neglect and no financial responsibility by their father for most of their lives. Why should I give him joint custody. What purpose would it serve. I agree wholeheartedly.

    Comments: My name is Misty, and I have voluntarily taken on a little girl as my own child. I am not married to her father, so even though I have raised her for years and years, I have no rights. Sadly, my daughter's flesh and blood father has no rights to her either. My daughter's birth mother has been completely gone for three years. Before this absence, my daughter was sexually abused while in her care and also beaten very badly by her birth mother's boyfriend. I cannot say that we were sad that she disappeared. Now she has come back in an instant, wants to see her and be in her life again....and we can do nothing about it. Why Because it is her RIGHT. My daughter Marjorie appparently doesn't have rights, and neither do we, the parents who love and do our best to protect her. The law states that we must allow our daughter to be put in harm's way. If she gets hurt again, and I do hope she does not, I will feel completely responsible for it, even though I had no choice in the matter. Thanks for your time, Misty Perks

    Comments: The laws need to look at other factors too, such as abusive stepfathers. It is not always the case that the mother is the best parent or most responsible parent. Mothers can be abusive too. Verbal abuse is just as harmful to a child as physical.

    Comments: I'm going throgh a divorce right now, and i't seems like every time my children go visit he calls and say he's not bring them back or they don't want to come back. I'm trying to be a good parent and keep a good relationship with my ex but he makes it hard. we have had a problem will spouse abuse in the past and child neglect also I sometimes am afraid that if he don't get his way he will take it out on the children, because I'm no longer there for him to take it out on.

    Comments: I have seen how the CPS of Texas does not really protect the child and how the courts are not concerned about the welfare of the children in their jurisdiction because of the way my grandson's case has been dealt with. Some of the things done by the judge appeared to be illegal and harmful to his wellbeing.

    Comments: I am having to deal with that myself at this time and I feel that the laws are only here to protect the bad people not the good nor the children I feel that a child should have a right to state in court thier feelings in front of a judge WITH a professional that is for the children's voices. My children are going through that at this time and they are just now getting to hear his case againt his father after being able to visit with him adn his sister getting hurt and both being threatend of bodliy harm .Nothing can be done until they are dead or on life support. If anyone ever needs to vent please feel free to email me at anytime RavanKlaw@aol.com

    Comments: I think the laws are too relaxed when it comes to the children. I wouldn't doubt if animals had more rights than our children do. People are too scared, too busy, too lazy, whatever to get involved in protecting our children. I have experienced extremely emotional times concerning visitation with my children, who are now grown, and concerning my step children. We all can't afford expensive lawyer fees and the judges don't always get all the facts needed in making the decision of visitation or custody, that actually is in the best interest of the child. I am very disappointed in the way these matters are handled due to the fact that they are life long decisions made for the child who (if very young) has no idea of what is going on in his/her life. The only thing the child knows is that their life is being disrupted. Maybe there should be more studies done on adults who as children have gone through these dramatic experiences of custody battles and see how they felt then and now. My grown children still have resentment towards their father who received more visitation rights so as to lower his child support even though he didn't use the visition rights he already had. In my case, the lawyer couldn't comunicate well with the judge (I guess) and even apologized to me saying the judge wasn't following state codes. I was and still am ignorant to the laws of our land. I hope and pray someone with the knowledge will fight for the sake of our children.

    Comments: I agree comletely. The laws are set up for the bad parent to see their child, who usually doesn't even want to see that person at all. The laws in Texas do not help the child at all they help get the cases done for the time being.

    Comments: I have not been able to see my daughter in 3 months. The mother keeps moving everytime I find her, and the cops tell me there is nothing they can do to enforce the court orders. So, due to the way the laws are written, if I break the court order and don't pay support, I go to jail. If she breaks the order and moves around all the time, and refuses to let me have my daughter, then I get told it's just too bad. These laws need to change, for the good of the children.

    Comments: Hello, I have been having a very hard time trying to help my thirteen year old daughter. She currently lives with her father in Allen Texas and came to visit me for about a month. In that time she had confided in me about her grandfather had molested her. I filed a petition to modify custody, and refused to send her back. On Monday, July 21st I took my daughter to Castro County Court to have the modification. I testified of what she had told me and my ex-husband admitted she had expressed what had happened and he decided that they would take care of it in the family. He never called the police, he never called CPS and they solved it by if her grandfather got up in the middle of the night his wife got up with him. Her father demanded that she never tell me or anyone else. My daughter has been having panic attacks since the acts and her father never got her any help which he admitted this all in court. My daughter spoke with the Judge in chambers and begged him not to send her back. He told her this was not his problem and then told her she could leave. He returned to the court room and gave the order to transfer the case to Collin County and for me to return her and her ten year old sister into the care of their father. My daughters both screamed and cried begging not to make them go. I thought the courts were supposed to protect those who couldnt protect themselves. My daughter made it clear at court if she had to go back she would kill herself. I need someone to help her please!!! I have contacted Dimmitt police dept. and she reported it to an officer and I have had several conversations to CPS. I am so scared for my little girl. She feels like no one will ever help her. She just kept saying her Daddy picked her grampa over her.
