International Travel Custody Rules

Summary

In Texas, if a custody decree mandates notifying the non-custodial parent one month before international travel, and you comply, they typically cannot deny the travel. If the ex-spouse does not adhere to the decree, you can file a motion to enforce it in court, which may include holding them in contempt or seeking other remedies. Consulting a family law attorney can provide guidance specific to your situation.
