My ex done a lot of underhanded things over 3 yrs. Ago and he has custody of my two boys. I have been paying child support. They want to stay with me, he is a drug abuser among other things. He hacked into my email to delete some nasty emails he sent me. I printed them out before he deleted them, what can I do about that? Also, I am wanting to regain custody, does he have to get busted or something like that before I can start a custody case? Need help asap in Texas. Thanks...

First, why does your ex have coustody?

Second, you must file for change of custody order in Texas.

You must be able to proof he is unfit to retain custody, you must show the court that you are will and able to care for the children.

Good luck.

He is trying to draw disability, he proved me unfit, I guess I let him. He is getting medications on medicaid and selling the pills. I turned him in last year, but they seemed uninterested. He just recently got into my email and deleted some dirty emails he sent me but not before I printed them. He done this on a computer I left for my kids, so I cut off the internet I was paying for and when school starts I am getting that computer if he hasn't tore it up. This man is a manipulator and a narcissist. He is so smart, he thinks, but he is running around doing drugs and no telling what else, I need help. I can't outwit this person, never could...

I should you have changed since this matter started, so file for custody, if you have a friend who will help, start an following him once in a while, don't stalk! Take pictures, save anything he sends you, carry a small digital tape recorded with you at all time, record anything important, protect yourself, But go file the paper work for custody now. Show the court that you have changed and deserve another chance. Are the children old enough to say where they want to stay??

Thanks so much, I only like 4 classes having my paralegal degree. I am so scared of this man, he suffocated me nearly to death 3 yrs. Ago. I have to be careful so he doesn't hurt my children, they are scared of him and will say nothing against him, I don't blame them. He seems to get away with everything. Yes, I have changed a lot. My children are 13 and 9. But I don't want the older one to leave the small one alone down there. Thanks for your advice, I guess I just need a boot to get started. I know how vindictive he can be. Guess I am just afraid, seems like everyone in the welfare and legal system believes him on everything, even though he has long hair and looks like a crack head. Thanks again...

You must do what your heart tells you, protect the children first, start beliving in yourself, you can do it, just be strong and remember he is just a person, no better, but sounds like a lot worst.

Good Luck!

Thanks so much, my confidence is growing, he is such a sicko or something, what kind of mind thinks to do the things that he does?

I've not been through this exact senario however you might find this useful. In TX one party can record another (in person, by phone) without their knowledge or consent and then use the recording in court. It is admisable. With this in mind you may be able to get the 'damning' info you need to show the court why your ex is not a proper guardian for his children. Do keep in mind that if you do this you need to be cautious about what YOU say and imply also as the same recording can also be used against YOU. I mention this because you have had some issues with family court yourself. Good luck and god bless.
