• stating that public policy in Texas calls for frequent and continuing contact between parents and their children when the former are able to act in the child’s best interest
• stating that “courts favor modifying residency restrictions to allow the custodial parent to relocate when the proposed relocation will significantly improve the custodial parent’s economic circumstances to the child’s benefit”
• stating that “[b]ecause compliance with the trial court’s temporary orders would require relator to choose between custody of her children and financial ruin, we further agree that relator has no adequate remedy at law”
• trial court abuses its discretion when it misapplies the law and fails to weigh properly the required factors in modifying agreed temporary orders governing the residence of a child
