Living in Texas. My divorce became final last July. I am keeping the house. My ex-wife, according to the terms, is permitted to stay in the house until no later than next January 1 and I do not have to pay child support until January 1. She has primary custody of our two children, ages 7 and 4.
She just informed me that she plans to move out Octoberr 1st and that she plays to leave the children with me until at least around January 1. If I inform her that, because she has custody, the children will have to got with her.
Would her leaving them be likely view as 'abandonment' by the court? If she leaves them with me without my approval, can I go to court and have a good chance of a judge awarding me primary custody based on her having left them with me against my will?
