living environment may endanger the child's physical health or
significantly impair the child's emotional development;
            (2)  the child's managing conservator has voluntarily
relinquished the actual care, control, and possession of the child
for more than six months and the temporary order is in the best
interest of the child; or
            (3)  the child is 10 <12> years of age or older and has
