Father got a final order increasing his custody to a 50/50 possession schedule.
Father counterpetitioned to modify, sought primary custody and won it, and had an order which returned the child promptly to Texas to live with Father. No reimbursement for any expenses and no support was awarded against Father.
With only one final trial hearing to rectify the scenario, Father was named a joint managing conservator, and was granted an expanded standard possession order which was customized and modified to better suit his personal and unique work schedule.
Father got primary custody, child support, and health care provided for young son.
Trial Court judgment awarding all requested economic damages and all attorney's fees was upheld in Appellate Court.
