:o I got divorced in the state of Texas in 2003. My ex was awarded custody of all 3 of our children. In the state of Texas when a child becomes 12 years of age I know they are allowed to choose who they want to live with. My daughter will be 12 next month and since our separation and divorce she has wantd to be with me. I live in Louisiana now and I have to go back to Texas to get her. Her father is saying I won't get her there's no need to try. He knows a lot of people in the court system there and that is one reason how he got the kids. How can I, a nobody, take him to court and get my baby? I am so frustrated. She crys when I have to take them home. It's killing me. Someone please... HELP!!
