Father's Issues / custody and power of attorney
Mar 23, 2007, 12:01:36 PM
 I'm in Texas.  My girlfriend of almost 4 yrs and childrens mother (son 4, daughter 3) moved out with no warning last January and removed all property from the home, including of course valuable items that I had had before we ever met.  police of course (her cousin was a detective for the local police) would do nothing.  She brought the kids back around for a few weeks, and then all of a sudden made false allegations like a month later and filed for a protective order refusing to let me see the kids, at that time she claimed the boy was not mine.  I had already retained an atty and a custody suit was filed on my behalf.  Needless to say as she sould not substatiate any of her allegations, and they were made a month after the alledged incident(s).  Unfortunately I chose the wrong atty.  and protective order was issued because he refused to enter all evidence that I had presented. After it was issued however, police concluded ther investigation along with CPS as unfounded and ruled out.  A month later I was awarded joint custody with visitation of both children and her ordered to pay for dna testing.  I then went back to court regarding the protective order prose and it was dismissed based on false allegations.  She refused to pay for DNA or to even show up to be tested.  so needless to say I did it myself and infortunatel it did turn out that I wasnt biologically related to my son (hes still my son though and I'll always be daddy to him-regardless of what dna testing might say)   I agreed upon my attorney stating to me that it was the best I would ever get and still get some rights to my son to equal visitation on my daughter and weekends with my son (that was the deal I put on the table) and she excepted that of course I didnt ask for any child support, not like shes gonna pay it anyways.  so 2 weeks later she signs and has notarized a power of attorney allowing me to act as guardian on both children, anytime shes not available.   Also, not complaining on this one because I love the current arrangement, she had the kids 6 days in jan, 3 1/2 days in feb, and so far 11 hours this month.  What can I do now, what are my options.  The DA refuses to do anything about the false allegations, which is a state jail felony in texas or about the protective order falsification  which is a 3rd degree felony.  CPS caseworker in the meantime went to school with my childrens mother.  I have talked to her supervisor and he insists its not a conflict of interest, and she continuously wants to investigate me, for the multiple frivolous claims she claims to have received.  there always dismissed because I'm not doing anything wrong, but its still annoying.  Thanks in advance to anyone that can point me in the right direction
