Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My 17 year old girlfriend is pregnant,and is on probation.They took her to jail today because her mom said she couldnt have her in the house anymore.My question is,when she has the baby,will I get custody of it?My girlfriend wants me to take care of the baby and not her mother.

I do have a job,and am getting a second one for the baby.

When the baby is born, you should file a paternity suit and ask for full custody of the child.

If you and the g.f. live in Harris County, you need a Harris County attorney.

I'm swamped with my cases so I'm not taking contested cases now.

I highly recommend PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405. Ask for Jessica in her office. Tell her that FRAN sent you. You must ask Jessica for the special FRAN pricing!

Good luck!
