I have been living in texas for 1 year now. I moved here from SC. while in sc my daughters father took me to court for custody. we seperated when my daughter was 1 year old. we were never married and the only reason he took me to court(3 years later) was because i moved in with my fiance. (in sc you can not have over night visitors of the oppisite sex unless they are realted by blood or marriage) i obviously did not know this! soooo my fiance and i got married. i ended up spending over $15000 in attorney fees. i was awarded Full custody w/ child support. he was given Visitation and that was all! now that i have moved to texas he is taking me back to court for joint custody and wants child support lowered. i have been paying for all of my childs flights to and from sc (per judges order until final hearing) and i have also been flying to and from sc for court hearings/mediations. a final hearing was set for this nov in sc. my question is can i have jurisdiction moved from sc to texas since we have lived here for over 1 year now?
