Hope Rampy sought a writ of mandamus from the Texas Court of Appeals to compel the district court to vacate a temporary order modifying child custody. Her ex-husband, Victor Colon-Melendez, initiated the underlying suit to grant him primary residence of their daughter, L.C., during Hope's 12-month military deployment. The district court ordered L.C. to live with Victor after the current school year, overriding Hope's plan for L.C. to stay with her stepfather. The appellate court found that the district court abused its discretion by misapplying Texas Family Code Ann. § 156.006(b), which requires a past relinquishment of primary care for more than six months, not an anticipated future one, to change a child's primary residence.
