| | Conservator's Change of Residence |
Without Required Notice
The court may modify the terms of possession of or access to a child or the rights and duties of conservators if a conservator has changed his or her residence without giving the notice required by Family Code Section 105.007.
Required notice.
Each party to a SAPCR involving child support or possession of or access to a child must give written notice to each other party of an intended change in the party's current residence address, mailing address, home telephone number, name of employer, address of employment, and work telephone number. Notice of an intended change must be given by registered or certified mail on or before the 60th day before a change is made. If the party does not know or could not have known of the change in sufficient time to provide 60-day notice, the party must provide the written notice of the change on or before the fifth day after the date the party knew or the change. The notice requirement may be waived if the court finds that the giving of notice would be likely to expose the child or the party to harassment, abuse, serious harm, or injury.
To Place Outside Texas
The court may modify the terms of possession of or access to a child or the rights and duties of conservators if a conservator has changed his or her residence to a place outside Texas.
Increased Expenses Due to Change of Residence
If a change in residence results in increased expenses for any party having possession of or access to a child, the court may render appropriate orders to allocate those increased costs on a fair and equitable basis, taking into account the cause of the increased costs and the child's best interest. The payment of increased costs by the party whose residence is changed is rebuttably presumed to be in the best interest of the child. Such an order may be rendered without regard to whether any other change in the terms and conditions of possession of or access to the child is made
