Here is a directive from the Family Law Courts in Galveston County regarding the effect of school cancellations on the language of Spring Break visitation orders....

THE EFFECT OF THE COVID-19 GLOBAL PANDEMIC ON VISITATION ORDERS

As most people with school age children are aware, the Spring Break holidays are upon us. Most of the local school districts are recognizing Spring Break either this week or next, and the vast majority of schools in our area have annouced school closures for the next 2 or 3 weeks. If you have children that are the subject of a court-ordered visitation schedule, you may be confused about how the Spring Break vacation period will work this year. Some districts are calling their school closures "extended Spring Breaks" while others are calling it simply a "school closure."

We have received almost 20 calls from clients and people that are confused about how this should work or what to do. The simple answer is - THERE IS NO SPECIFIC ANSWER. Most court orders provide that the children are to be returned either when school resumes or on the day before school resumes after the Spring Break holiday. However, the intent of the court orders and the Texas Legislature did not take into account a crisis such as the one facing us at the current time.

Our best advice to both custodial parents and the non-custodial parents is this - DO NOT USE AN EMERGENCY SITUATION SUCH AS THIS TO YOUR ADVANTAGE OVER THE OTHER PARENT WITH REGARD TO VISITATION OF YOUR CHILDREN. We are urging all parents to compromise and work together, by splitting this unexpected time off from school. Many parents with younger children will have serious conflicts with their their jobs while trying to take care of their kids, so please work together.

Remember, when you get before a judge in any family court, you want to appear to be the reasonable parent that tries to work things out and co-parent with the other. However, if your situation is unique, or you need to discuss this matter in greater detail with a Board Certified Family Law attorney, then please call our office at (713) 236-0000.

Everyone be safe, and God bless you and your families.

NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT
REGARDING CREDIT CARD MERCHANT ACCOUNTS

If your law firm or business has accepted credit cards between the years of 2004 to 2019, there is a class action lawsuit pending in the United States District Court that could result in you recovering up to 1% of the merchant service fees that you were charged. The settlement fund is presently over 5 billion dollars, and priority applications to recover from this settlement will be due soon. You and your law firm should be entitled to get some of this money back!

If you are interested, please let me know and I will send you the paperwork necessary to initiate a claim. This can actually result in some pretty substantial returns for firms and businesses that receive a large volume of credit card payments. We will help you get all of the necessary information together in order to fully process the claim.

For more information, please give me a call at (713) 236-0000 or send me a message.

If it looks like a marriage and acts like a marriage, it is probably a marriage. A California judge rules that Ron White's "wedding" that cost $100,000, had 300 guests, and had an officiant authorized by the State of Texas DOES constitute a common law marriage.

Ron White and Margo Rey are officially married, California judge declares.
