Mother is seeking modification w/in 1 year of prior orders in Montgomery County. Father was arrested for agg. sexual assault of child and indecency with a child on or about 2/25/24 (not the child subject of orders). Mother has filed a pro se petition to modify on 3/4/24. She has been given forms for filing for temp orders and a TRO. She does not have possession of child, but does not know if child is still with father. 

Candace Jones is a victim of a pending criminal charge of Agg. Assault with a deadly weapon. My office has helped her obtain a 2 year protective order. I know she would like for the custody orders to follow the protective order.  

There are two grandchildren in her care currently.  One has been in her care since birth, the oldest child.

Opposing party has filed in Harris County pro se. A lot of verbal, financial, and mental abuse over course of the marriage. Opposing party would not let her get a driver's license or a job. Separated in February of 2023. She hasn't had possession of children since then. Visits are on his terms. Is looking for SPO and make-up time. Client has been given forms to file pro-se and a letter certifying her eligibility for services. 

The mom's husband filed for divorce in San Jacinto County in May 2023. In August, She filed a report with CPS against her husband after her son told her about some behavior he witnessed involving his dad and possibly the sister.  The children's ages are 6, 4, and 3. Client has already attempted to hire an attorney in August, but that attorney has not completed any work on the case and refuses to refund her money. Currently, her husband has the children and refuses to return them until after the new year. She needs a Spanish speaking attorney to assist her.  

Protective order and SAPCR for client needed against perpetrator.  Perpetrator has a history of stalking the client in the past and has gone on the run with the child previously.  

Client is seeking a modification of parenting plan in original divorce decree.   Would like to get a standard possession order and regular communication. 

I have a victim, who nearly died multiple times during her assaults over the past few months. We have two pending cases in our office, one impeding breath & agg assault with deadly weapon. We were able to get a protective order granted on Monday November 27, 2023 for two years. I can send you a copy of it to you. She will qualify for the 60 days waived wait time for a divorce since she is a victim. And he is still currently in our county jail, so he can be easily served with the papers. She has lost everything because of him, and is rebuilding her life back.

Grandparent currently has possession of child after Father told grandparent to pick up child.  Father attempted to take child home and called Tomball PD but child was afraid to go with Father because of past abuse.  Grandparent is seeking rights to keep child in her possession and potentially a protective order against child's father. Current CPS investigation ongoing. 

Father was awarded JMC as CP through mediation. He can not afford new fees for entry. He is seeking legal aid for entry of MSA as final orders.
