The last change in child support was last November according to Texas law we have 2 years before another change can be made. I would not mind reporting  new salary if I thought that the money was being used for the child.
To protect myself, should I wait the two years and report my new salary myself?

We pay for all kinds of extra curricular activities and buy 1/2 school uniforms and such, would this not make up for the salary difference?

In texas we have a 48 hour right of refusal that clearly states that each party has to notify the other if we need a babysitter for the child for more than 48 hours. This basically gives the other parent a right to take custody of the child after 48 hours instead of having the child at a sitter or grandparent.
It is Christmas Break and the BM year for the first week, she drops my daughter off with her great grandmother for 3 nights and then drops her off at  her grandmothers house for 2 more nights, never asking us for right of refusal.
1. What can we file for contempt of court?
2. What do we need to do to prove it?
The child is 7.
Thanks!

Living in texas I have recently gotten an offer to take higher paying job. If I don't tell the bio mother about the higher paid position, will it come back to bite me in the wallet later on?

I am a Texas father as well and it is tough here in Texas. I agree that things have to be pretty right away when you are talking about injury to a child, the daycare is required to report any suspect of abuse, it is the law, but most, not all don't like to in my opinion, but it is worth a shot to ask them if they have or will call CPS. You can do it online it is very easy. My daughter needs me as well and I have lots of information, emails, documentation etc on my daughters BM and have several lawyers tell me that if there isnt absolute proof of physical abuse or absolute proof of drug or alcohol addiction, we are both kinda out of luck with out a million dollars. I am sorry to sound depressing and all, but this is what I have heard from my lawyer and several others.

Every day the x-wife calls and I try so hard to accomadate her wishes... Last night she told me that it was cold and she did not have a undershirt to go under the softball uniform for my daughter and I suggested to bring a light jacket and she replied that she did not have any new jackets in the past 2 years. I was thinking that I would be nice by bringing a light jacket for the game and in fear of my daughter going to school in no coat for school the next day, I also sent a jacket for school as well, in which I did I did this last year as well.
Never a thank you or anything.
Should I document this as well or is it a waste of my time?

Second cheerleading pictures, x-wife called and told me I did not put  the ribbon in the bag and she needed me to bring it to pictures, I explained that My wife put it in there but if it had fallen out my wife could bring it up there for her and the xwife clearly stated my new wife was not allowed at practice.

First off my wife is allowed to go anywhere she pleases... second is there anything we can do to prevent these rude calls? I really don't like that she tries to tell my wife what she can or can't do and where she can and can't go.
The ex wife is on a mission to take us back to court and have my new wife removed from certain activities and from participating in extra curricular activities. The xwife has no substancial evidence against my new wife but we are worried she could be banned from these activites and from substitutuing at my daughters school and or volunteering...?
Thanks Texas Dad

Since I was thrown out of my daughters game thought it was not my fault, I was thinking that my x wife might hold this against me in court.
Should I file a complaint against the Dallas Police Department>
IS there anything I can do because  I was falsely thrown out for a disturbance that was caused by someone else.... ?
I bought a voice recorder to your advice, is there anything else I should do? Thanks Your the best
Texas father

 I don't know if this is posted somewhere, but to make myself feel better, what did you do before this website a lawyer, judge? Where do you get the answers to our questions.... ? Thanks Bradley

I am sorry to seem that way, but Texas is a 90 percent in favor of the mother state. I just feel as my title states, Father trying to do the right thing.
Some words were exchanged between myself and my ex wifes ex stepfathers wife, which she started as soon as i entered the gate of the game.  I did not use profanity or call anyone names just defending myself as to have a right to walk my daughter on the field for her homecoming game.  The lady who verbally attacked me also called my wife a stupid idiot.  SHe was loud and obnoxious and I just walked away and sat down, she or my ex wife called the police. WHich one I am not sure. The fact is I came to support my daughter and the whole family of my ex wife was there and were their witnesses that caused the problem. I then was removed from the game me, my wife , my two sons and my guests, very embarassing, and the police did not care to hear my story. Thanks for the advice.

Once again, the mother always wins....
I was kicked along with my wife out of my daughters cheerleading event today because the costodial parent, my daughters mother called 911 on a distrubance, My wife and I were confronted at the door and this estranged relative of my exwife was yelling at me. I remained calm but still was escorted out the game. My ex wife says I have no right to be at  the game because it is not my weekend.
What can I do now?
Do I have rights to be at my daughters extra curricular activities?

My step daughter and my new wife get along great, it is the ex wife and the new wife and the ex wife and me that don't get along. My new wife is great with my daughter.
I am not the one that is recording conversations my ex wife is. She is recording my daughter at home about no one was notified about the recordings either.
Sounds as if I better get an attorney, my ex wife says I am not allowed at my daughters extra curricular activities as well.
