		<description><![CDATA[Me and my ex-wife have joint custody of our 11 yr old daughter with me being the primary conservator. The case was filed and heard in Harris County- Houston Texas. Me and my family has since moved to Dalla s TX. in Dec 2004 and have been here ever since. If I needed to file for any modifications which venue do I need to file in since my daughter has been living in a different county for almost 4 1/2 yrs?  Also if my ex-wife wanted to file for a modification which venue would she have to file in since she is in Houston and I have been in Dallas for 4 1/2 yrs?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had to read the book Lolita and need to research a topic on it. I chose to research Humbert's rights as a stepfather. In 1955 What rights would a stepfather have for custody over his step child if both biological parents are dead? Also what steps would he need to take to become the childs legal guardian? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I gave temporary custody of my two little girls to their father 5 years ago so that I could go to an in-house drug rehabilitation for one year.  He has since failed two drug tests (during a modification of custody hearing) and I have passed all of mine. We now have a 2 2 3 split, which is very hard on my girls, especially my oldest with adhd.  The father is also facing a 4th degree assault for smacking our youngest daughter in the mouth 4 times.  Are there any organizations that review cases to make sure things are operating in a checks and balances type of way without charging me thousands of dollars?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My stepson had a child by his girlfriend at the time but was never told it was his child until 5 years later.  During that time she got married and her husband at the time was the named father on the birth certificate.  When they separated a DNA test was done and proven my stepson was the father and his name was added to the birth certificate.  Her father does not like my stepson so he kept calling child services until they took the child and turned him over to the ex husband.  What can we do as grandparents to see our grandson that was moved from NC to WV?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The biological father of my now 4 year old son left me when I was 7 months pregnant, he was seperated from his wife or so he claimed at the time, they have 2 young children. He is not on the birth certificate and only temporarily paid support from when my son was 3 months to 1 year old. I met my husband and moved to the USA with my ex telling me I was doing him a favor and all support stopped as he claimed he did not want to give money to me and my husband to spend! We have a daughter and loving sister for my son and I just want to make sure that my ex cannot do anything to ruin my family, can he claim custody?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago the court decided to just switch the papers to say my mother had and always had full custody. Now my father has been paying for child support to my mother even though I lived with him most of the time. Now I'm in college, and he apparently must continue to pay until I graduate college and live on my own... even if I go to graduate school. Is this legal, and do I have any factor in stopping this irrational child support?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Recently major changes have happened wherein my daughter's acting detached, having deteriorating school report,  and disinterested in extra curricular school activities. At her age,  it seems very ideal for her not to switch homes every few days.  What do you suggest I submit to court as far as a modification in custody?  Also,  what are the chances of me modifying custody agreement?]]></description>
