Re: Baby Rights
File for divorce in your county and seek custody. See an attorney. It's just a little trickier now. Might cost a little more money.
Re: Baby Rights
You need to contact and attorney immediately. Depending upon how recently she left Texas, she has probably not met the jurisdiction requirements in her new location to allow her to file for divorce. You need to file for divorce where you reside, serve her with notice at her new location and force a hearing in the local Court to enter temporary orders, one of which will be to return the child back here. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law practicing in the general Houston area. Please contact me dircetly if you care to discuss your options further.
