Lawyers.com Features Cindy’s Story, Legal Expert Raises Frightening Thought

Michelle Bowman, a freelance writer for Lawyers.com, wrote a great article on Cindy’s case today, with quotes from Professor James Paulsen of South Texas College of Law here in Houston. Professor Paulsen raises an alarming possibility, though – if Marvin and Phong can manage to drag the court proceedings out for more than six months, Phong may be able to ask that custody be awarded to him.

“If Mr. McMurrey’s partner can hold on to the children for six months while things are tied up in court, under Texas law he can ask for custody on his own, even though he has no biological ties to the children,” Paulsen says. “By then, the children may have bonded with him more than with their birth mother.”
