Petition to Modify - Wade Page 2 of7
130409-1
subchapter A of chapter 7B of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, or order for emergency
protection under Article 17.292 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure is in effect in regard to
a party to this suit or a child of a party to this suit and no application for any such order is
pending.
9. Modification of Conservatorship, Possession and Access
The order to be modified is not based on a mediated or collaborative law settlement
agreement. The circumstances of the children, a conservator, or other party affected by the order
to be modified have materially and substantially changed since the date of rendition of the order
to be modified.
The conservator who has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence of the
children has voluntarily relinquished the primary care and possession of the children to another
person for at least six months, and such temporary relinquishment is not a result of the
conservator's military deployment, military mobilization, or temporary military duty as those
terms are defined in section 153.701 ofthe Texas Family Code.
Petitioner requests that he be appointed as the person who has the right to designate the
primary residence of the children.
Preceding the filing of this suit, Respondent has engaged in a history or pattern of child
neglect.
Petitioner requests that the Court consider this conduct in appointing the Petitioner as
sole managing conservator or the parties as joint managing conservators.
There is a history or pattern of child neglect committed by Respondent. Petitioner
requests the Court to deny Respondent access to the children. Alternatively, Petitioner requests
that the Court render a possession order that provides that Respondent's periods of visitation be

130409-1
continuously supervised by an entity or person chosen by the Court.
The requested modification is in the best interest of the children.
10. Support
The order to be modified is not based on a mediated settlement agreement. The
circumstances of the child or a person affected by the order have materially and substantially
changed since the date of the signing of the mediated settlement agreement on which the order to
be modified is based, and the support payments previously ordered should reflect the change in
conservatorship of the child until the child is eighteen years of age and, if the child is enrolled
under chapter 25 of the Texas Education Code in an accredited secondary school in a program
leading toward a high school diploma and complying with the minimum attendance requirements
of subchapter C of chapter 25 of the Education Code, or enrolled under section 130.008 of the
Education Code in courses for joint high school and junior college credit and complying with the
minimum attendance requirements of subchapter C of chapter 25 of the Education Code, or
enrolled on a full-time basis in a private secondary school in a program leading toward a high
school diploma and complying with the minimum attendance requirements imposed by that
school, until the end of the month in which the child graduates from high school. Petitioner
requests that any increase be made retroactive to the earlier of the time of service of citation on
Respondent or the appearance of Respondent in this modification action.
The requested modification is in the best interest of the children.
11. Requestfor Temporary Orders
Petitioner requests the Court, after notice and hearing, to make temporary orders for the
safety and welfare of the children, including but not limited to the following:
Appointing Petitioner the temporary conservator who has the right to designate the

Ordering Respondent to provide support for the children, including the payment of child
support and medical and dental support in the manner specified by the Court, while this case is
pending.
Denying Respondent access to the children or, alternatively, rendering a possession order
providing that Respondent's periods of visitation be continuously supervised.
With regard to the requested temporary order for managing conservatorship, Petitioner
would show the Court the following:
The children's conservator who has the exclusive right to designate the primary residence
of the children has voluntarily relinquished the primary care and possession of the children for
more than six months, the requested temporary order is in the best interest of the children, and
such voluntary relinquishment is not a result of the conservator's military deployment, military
mobilization, or temporary military duty as those terms are defined in section 153.701 of the
Texas Family Code.
12. Request for Temporary Restraining Order
Petitioner requests the Court to dispense with the necessity of a bond, and Petitioner
requests that Respondent be temporarily restrained immediately, without hearing, and after
notice and hearing be temporarily enjoined, pending the further order of this Court, from:
Disturbing the peace of the children or of another party.
