She wants to get custody of her 14-year-old sister. The child was living with her mother in Keller, Texas, and she came to visit client in Paris. She ended up staying for about 3 months. During that time, she disclosed to client that her mother had let a sex offender stay in the house, and this guy had forced the child to perform sexual acts him. Client called the police and CPS. Client is not happy with CPS because they have not done anything yet.

Client is looking for legal advice. She was served papers by her ex husband, but they are still legally married. She did not seem too sure what the papers were but it sounded like it was regarding child custody.

The parties went to court in June 2024, and the court made a ruling in their SAPCR case. However, an order still has not been entered. Opposing party's attorney sent client a copy of the proposed order and is wanting client to sign. Client said she did not understand certain parts where it talked about her visitation.
