18. Until that age, the court order must be followed. The child does not have the option of refusing. If there is a *legitimate* reason that the child does not want to have contact with the parent, then you need to go back to court and request that the court order be modified.

Can you get a jury trial for a custody hearing in Texas?
Yes, you can request a jury trial for custody cases in Texas. I am in fact going through one at this moment, and as a fathr fighting for custody, I believe that this is the ONLY way to go. I raised my daughter from birth until now, and when I went to sue for the custodial rights, the judge gave the mother temp custody pending final trial. Although I had documentation proving that she was not the one giving primary care for the last 4 years, and it was I. He ordered the removal of her from my home, I went from having her Mon-Fri to every weekend. Injustice at its best. Go jury trial if you are a fatehr for sure.

This is interpretive. Generally under the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction And Enforcement Act ("UCCJEA") they are suppose to, however this does not preclude other conditions.

Unfortunately, the states also have a history of not honoring father custody orders from other states or countries. The was a case of this in Clay County, Missouri. The father with an order from Texas had to kidnap his child and return the Texas.
Does a possessory conservator automatically have custody of a child when the managing conservator who lives with child at grandmother's house die and can the grandmother refuse to let child go to the possessory conservator in Texas?
This would be a change of circumstances. What are the best interests of the child? If the father wants to contest it - I think he has a good case.Yeah it definitely deals with a modification of a custody arrangement. I believe that the death of one parent would enough to satisfy a material and substantial enough change so that the arrangement will be changed. Also, the courts favor the biological parent, so it is likely that it is in the best interest of the child that they live with the alive parent as opposed to the Grandparent. It should be noted however that in TX grandparents have rights of "access" to their grandchildren should they meet certain criteria.My advice to you is to hire a lawyer, and have the custody changed.
