Divorce, Marriage, Alimony Law Question from Adams Gardens, Texas

Asked on 11/11/2009.   This question has received 131 views.

Which state has jurisdiction over child custody case?

I received residential custody of my child in 2007 because my ex was a convicted **** user. My ex lives in Kansas and I live in Texas. She is talking about taking me back to court in Kansas to get custody of our daughter back. Would I have to go to Kansas to court even though my daughter and myself live in Texas? Would she win by default if I could not make it to Kansas to court because i have a family to support? What are the odds of her getting custody if our daughter has a stable environment and good academic scores with me in Texas?

Since the child is residing in Texas and has been for the last six months they would have to file in Texas courts.

You will need assistance of an attorney to help you in this matter. Feel free to contact my office.
