OTHER PERSON WHO ACTS IN CONCERT WITH THE PARTIES OR THEIR
AGENTS AND WHO RECEIVES ACTUAL NOTICE OF THESE ORDERS, AND
IS ENFORCEABLE BY CONTEMPT OF COURT, INCLUDING FINE AND/OR

No party to this lawsuit has requested this order. Rather, this order is a standing
order of the Montgomery County District Courts and County Courts at Law that applies
in every divorce suit and every suit affecting the parent-child relationship filed in
Montgomery County. The District Courts and County Courts at Law have adopted this
order because the parties, their children and the family pets should be protected and their
property preserved while the lawsuit is pending before the court. The term “party” as
used in this order does not include the Office of the Attorney General of Texas.
Therefore, it is ORDERED:
1 NO DISRUPTION OF CHILDREN. All parties are ORDERED to refrain from
doing the following acts concerning any children who are subjects of this case:
1.1 Removing the children from the State of Texas, for the purpose of

court, acting directly or in concert with others, without the written
agreement of both parties or an order of the court; provided, however, that
this paragraph shall not prohibit or restrict a party from so removing the
children if an active prior court order gives that party the right to designate
the children’s primary residence outside the State of Texas or without
regard to geographic location.
1.2 Disrupting or withdrawing the children from the school or day-care
facility where the children are presently enrolled, without the written
agreement of both parents or an order of the court; provided, however, that
this paragraph shall not prohibit or restrict a party from so withdrawing the
children from a school or day-care facility if that party is changing the
children’s domicile or residence within that party’s rights pursuant to an
active prior court order as described in 41.1 above.
1.3 Hiding or secreting the children from the other party.
14 Changing the children’s current place of abode, without the written
