SD moved to our area this summer. She lives with her aunt. I have encouraged my husband to spend time with her whenever he can. Low and behold, I start seeing texts sis is sending my husband about how the family knows I am keeping him away from his daughter, etc. They don't even know me and it is far from the truth! Apparently they are planning some family intervention with him "alone" this weekend to discuss what hateful things I am supposidly doing. That is ridiculous! Why can't people act like adults and talk to me directly if they have a "problem"? Why are they taking a 16 yr.

My sd is most likely not going back East to be with her mother after the summer. My ex needs to alter his agreement to have her now pay for child support, expenses, and transportation for visitation. The kicker is that she is presently unemployed. He is saying that he doesn't need an attorney? I suggest that he does? Please advise- and by the way, can anyone recommend an attorney in Dallas who's fees aren't outrageous?

I have a son and my husband has two daughters that live in the East. One of them is not getting along with her mother. She has come to see us for the summer and is going through counseling. I just learned today that she may not be going back home. We have never gotten along. Their mother has no structure at their home. His daughters hate that I expect our family to eat dinner togther, keep their room clean, and participate in family activities and only want to interact when they want a trip, clothes at the mall, etc.
