[blindlaw] child custody

[Daniel McBride]

Potential client has Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship pending in
Texas.  Potential client is granted Possessory Conservatorship with the
Family Code standard visitation of first, third and fifth weekends of the
month.

 

However, potential client is blind, the child is a 19 month old daughter and
the Court has conditioned his possession of the child on him having sighted
assistance by any competent adult during his periods of possession.
Potential client asks whether the condition of possession violates any
concepts of discrimination pursuant to the Americans With Disabilities Act.

 

I would appreciate any thoughts you have.  Thank you.

 

Daniel McBride, Attorney

Fort Worth, Texas
