re: Texas attorneys of the OT family law ??

You need to speak to a family law attorney about the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act. It will likely control the jurisdiction question between essentially three different states. Also, your ex wife likely has an inconvenient forum argument if you try to proceed in Texas, especially since you don’t have any major contacts with Texas. I would guess you’re going to end up in Ohio to resolve any custody issues.

I’ll also add that I don’t understand incurring the financial costs to everyone to try to fight this in Texas when you are in Kentucky and she is in Ohio. Seems like an unnecessary expense.
