Hello Yawl,
This is from Larry. Just wanted to give an update on the legal stuff as far as it relates to the kids. As you know, (or know now) G had a Attorney General Child Support Case. This was filled while they lived in Coryell County, Texas. At the time of the wreck they lived in Anderson County, Texas. She died legally in Smith County, Texas. We took custody of the kids and moved them to Smith County where we live. Because of the prior involvement of the Attorney General in the kids lives, they now have legal standing to say where the kids go. We have to involve them and "do it right" with them or they could make our lives heck. The could step in and take them. Our attorney says that we are doing things right. they may want a home study at some point. They have more standing than I have as an Uncle.
Because of all of this, we had to do two different things. We had to file a case in Coryell Count requesting the AG to move their case to Smith Count where the kids live now. G consented to this because he does have some say in how this plays out. He is cooperating with us and helping us out. The judge in Coryell County was about to sign the transfer papers when some assistant attorney general walked in and filled a bunch of enforcement, G's case was one of them. that stopped our transfer. it took about 3 weeks for us to track that guy down and get him dismiss the case. it took him a few more days to think about it. he then agreed as long as we signed a statement that the enforcement would be handled in Smith County. We all agreed. Had this not happened I would have had to pay our attorney to travel down there for a hearing. for him and his assistant to travel is 300.00 per hour plus I pay his expenses. Argue!!! thank you Lord for fixing this one as well. so now we are waiting on the file from Coryell County to be mailed here and filled in. our case will be handled in the 321 District Court - the Hon. Carol Clark. Once the case is filled in it should only take a month or more to get on the docket.
thanks to everyone for reading along,
Larry
