Scared For My Daughter

Location: Texas

My ex-husband and I have had 50/50 custody of our daughter for well over 3 years. She is about to be 12. I am the custodial parent. He agreed to have her on his insurance.

Since our divorce he has remarried. Ever since he has been with his wife, he offloads my daughter’s care onto his wife. For the first couple of years they failed to make sure she had proper hygiene. They would even send her to school stinking and tangled hair. Besides that, we had a few other issues and went to mediation to alter the court orders. My lawyer completely sucked and I was 100% unprepared for this, so it didn’t go my way.

Since then, he has violated multiple things on our court ordered agreement (including location and insurance). As the years have progressed, his wife has become more and more mentally unstable. She stalks my social media, and I was forced to block her because she kept sending me long messages asking about my personal life, claiming she saw entities arising from my house, and that she has a gift from god of being able to see things from other dimensions. She has mentally and emotionally abused and manipulated my daughter. She talks about me to my daughter in bad ways, she has tried to physically intimidate me, has called me all types of names and said that I’m the reason my daughter is the way she is (they were mad she talked with her friends about boys), they have yelled and cussed me out in front of my daughter and the list goes on. Aside from this, she is now homeschooled and while she is at their house, they have not been waking her up for her live video lessons which means she is being counted as absent and her grades are suffering. I have spoken with them about all of this multiple, MULTIPLE times to no avail.

I cannot afford a lawyer at the moment. I don’t know what to do. I really need advice and help. What are my options?

I have spoken to lawyers during consultations, but they don’t give me much advice. I’ve also spoken to CPS to see if any of it counts as neglect or abuse and they said no.

I’m afraid that my daughters mental health will continue to decline, she already cries every time she has to go over there. I’m also afraid that her stepmother will snap or hurt my daughter as her mental health also declines.

There is more information, but I don’t want to put a whole wall of text here.

ETA: I do have screenshots and proof of a lot of this stuff.
