The Texas Family Code sets forth four general grounds upon which an annulment can be granted. They are: 1. If a party to the marriage was at least 16 but under 18 at the time of marriage and that party did not have parental consent or court-ordered permission to marry; 2. If at the time of marriage they party seeking annulment was under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, as a result lacked the capacity to consent to the marriage, and has not voluntarily lived with the other party...
Bottom line, make sure that you don't commingle funds from your separate LLC account with your community account. Also, there is a theory called alter ego that you should be aware of.

It is also critical that you understand that even if you voluntarily terminate your parental rights, the court could still order you to pay child support.
Under the Texas Family Code, unless there is a court order providing possession and access by your son's paternal grandparents you are not required to allow them to see him.

Note that under Texas law, you cannot condition a conservator's access to a child upon his or her payment of child support.
