Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I have a 4 year old daughter and her mother is a unfit parent. I'm thinking off filling for full and sole custody. Her mother has not contacted me in 2 weeks and hasn't picked our daughter up from my house longer than that. I need advice on what I can possibly do for the situation I have and the safety of my daughter.

It is important that you quickly obtain court orders in place to set out the rules for both parents regarding conservatorship, possession, access, support and rights and responsibilities. Evidence regarding abandonment and failure to exercise visitation is admissible, relevant and an important factor for the judge when determining what is in the best interest of the child. Consult with an experienced family lawyer in your area, and good luck to you.
