How do I transfer custody of my kids to myself from my ex wife in Texas?
My ex wife wants to move out of state, but wants the kids to stay with me. For the last 3 years we have had 50/50 split custody with the kids 1 week at each parent's house. I was paying child support in the amount of $900/mo. At the beginning of this school year, she told me to keep the kids most of the time, and started returning my child support payments to me.
She is now ready to remove child support, and grant me full custody of our kids. She is completely on board.
What I need to know, is what is the process for doing this without having to hire an attorney? Is there a change of custody and child support form?
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up, I found a fast and effective solution. I called the Texas AG's office, and they told me they will do the transfer of custody and removal of child support in house. My ex and I are going in next week to the local office where they will prepare the paperwork for us, and send it to the judge for approval. Seems too easy to me, but hey, I'm not going to complain!

Make sure the state that has the court order child support is advised so they can close you out or maybe Texas will do that. As long as both people agree it's always nice to save the money instead of giving it to the lawyers.
I am sad that she is giving up custody. I hope that doesn't mean visitation too.
Good luck to all of you.

If you have been court ordered to pay child support, then you must also get a court ordered revision to make this change. Well, "must" is a strong word, but put it this way - if your wife EVER decides to change her mind and demand the money you owe her from the original court order, the law WILL be on her side.
