🌍✈️ Traveling Internationally with Your Child: Legal Considerations 🛂👨‍👩‍👧

Traveling internationally with your child can be an amazing adventure, offering cultural immersion and learning opportunities. However, when parents don't agree on travel plans, things can get complicated. Here's what you need to know:

1️⃣ Travel Consent Regulations: International parental kidnapping concerns have led to strict rules. Usually, both parents must consent to the child's international travel.

2️⃣ Passport Application: Kids need passports for international air travel. For children under 16, both parents' consent is typically required for the passport. Ensure you understand custody orders regarding passport possession and application rights.

3️⃣ Sole Managing Conservatorship: If you have sole custody, you can travel abroad with your child without the other parent's consent. However, you'll need to present the court-ordered custody arrangement for passport issuance.

International travel with your child involves legal responsibilities and consent from both parents. While exiting the US is relatively straightforward, entry into other countries often requires demonstrating parental agreement. Understanding these legal obligations and cooperating with the other parent ensures a smooth and enjoyable travel experience for both you and your child.

Ever heard of "nesting" in co-parenting? It's not just a cozy term—it's a parenting approach that prioritizes stability and continuity for kids during separation or divorce. 🧒

👶 What's Nesting? It's when the kids stay in the family home while parents take turns living there based on an agreed schedule. Kids enjoy a consistent living space, while parents manage custody responsibilities in a rotating fashion.

✅ Advantages:
1️⃣ Stability: Kids find comfort in their familiar home, minimizing the impact of a challenging family situation.
2️⃣ Less Disruption: No constant shuffling between homes; one stable home base for the children.
3️⃣ Shared Responsibilities: Both parents actively engage in the kids' lives and household duties.
4️⃣ Effective Communication: A must for successful nesting, enhancing co-parenting teamwork and communication skills.

Starting September 1, 2023, child support should be somewhat easier to collect, thanks to Senate Bill 869. Below is a summary of what has changed:

Child Support Arrears: If one party is behind on child support, the parties cannot agree to reduce or waive the arrears.

Inheritance: If a parent paying child support inherits money, they are not permitted to give that money to someone else as a means of getting out of child support.

Child Support Liens: Child support liens will no longer have a 10 year limit and, expired child support liens on real property can now be renewed.

Should I mediate my divorce or have a final trial?

There is no one way to finalize a family law case. There are many advantages to mediation instead of a judge making decisions about your life.

Advantages:
* You can save a lot of money by mediating instead of going to court
* Mediation can give parties a sense of ownership over their case
* Mediation can be a much faster way of resolving a case. It's not always easy getting into court!

If you would like to know more about the mediation process, or any other issue related to family law, please contact us at [email protected]

Is there legal separation in Texas? This is a question I am often asked and the answer is "no." In Texas, you are either married or divorced. The law doesn't really recognize anything in between.

A few things to avoid when you are separated are:
1. Spending money on a paramour
2. Filing tax returns without your spouse's knowledge
3. Making unusually large gifts or spending large amounts of money.

All of these things can cause problems when you do decide to divorce.

New Texas Laws Effective September 1, 2023?

Every two years, the Texas Legislature enacts new legislation. Here are a few snapshots of new laws:

SB 870 Child Support
Judges will have a little more teeth to enforce child support orders. The Court will now be able to order than an obligor (parent paying child support) get a job. The Court can also enroll support obligors into employment programs whether they like it or not. There are also updates in the child support statutes concerning child support liens, child support enforcement, child support modifications, and more, including a significant update in rules regarding incarceration and support obligations.

SB 48 Protective Order forms
This new law will require standardized forms to be used when applying for a protective order.

HB 1432 Protective Order Elements
The changes to the elements for a protective order are among the biggest changes to come out of this year’s legislative session. Those applying for a protective order will no longer need to prove that there will be a likelihood of future family violence. This means that one incident of family violence may be enough to be granted a protective order.

HB 8250 Discovery
One of the biggest changes for attorneys and litigants relates to civil discovery and the initial disclosures. The initial disclosures, as we have known them for the past two years, are no longer required for family law cases. This was in part to legislatures deciding the process was too onerous on pro se and low income litigants. Instead of requiring to exchange initial disclosures within 30 days of the opposing party making an appearance, you will now have to serve a request for disclosures. The new Title 6 of the Texas Family Code will provide further information.
