Mom is Withholding Child Custody and Visitation | Possession is 9/10 of the Law

At a court hearing, Sarah Grace Gillette testifies about her daughter Meadow Mercy May Kelly and her relationship with Meadow's father, Alan Wayne Kelly. Sarah and Alan signed an acknowledgment of paternity document, and have an agreement on financial matters. Sarah mentions Alan's criminal record, including a family violence conviction in 2017 in Bell County. She also discusses Medicaid coverage for Meadow and her concerns about Alan's relationship with their daughter. Sarah requests supervised visitation for Alan and additional notice requirements for visitation. She also mentions a pending DUI charge for herself but does not provide details. The court considers temporary orders for visitation and communication between Sarah and Alan regarding Meadow. Sarah expresses her willingness to have her parents supervise visitation if necessary. The court questioned Sarah about previous visitation arrangements, which had not been formally established.

Dad expressed discomfort with Meadow's mother's family and requested exchanges to occur in a public area or at a police station. He also mentioned concerns about his safety due to past incidents involving Meadow's mother. Mr. Kelly stated his desire to see Meadow and his willingness to comply with financial agreements.

The judge named the mother as the sole managing conservator and the father as a possessory conservator, with specified visitation rights. The judge also appointed a child's lawyer to represent the child's best interests in the case. There were discussions about supervision during visitation and communication methods between the parents, as well as the necessity for following court orders.

An Acknowledgment of Paternity (AOP) is a legal document that allows parents who aren't married to establish legal paternity

Mom knows how to legally represent herself

The minor child in this case is 1 year old

Possessory Conservators have rights to possession and access of their child, but no rights when it comes to final decision-making on the child's behalf

Child support is money paid by one parent to the other parent for the purpose of providing financial support to a child or children. Most frequently, child support is paid by the non-custodial parent to the custodial parent, but this is not always the case. Depending on where you live and the agreement you reach, the child support you pay or receive and what expenses it should cover will vary.
