Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Child custody
I have a niece that I raised for 1 &1/2 yrs, her fathers girlfriend has found every reason to keep her from our entire family, this child that was once a vibrant and happy child has changed, when you see her now she hangs her and speaks to no one unless this woman tells her it is okay, she grounds her, makes her stay in her room and if she mentions my name she is punished, she is only 3yrs old, my brother now works out of town and leaves her with this woman, she even moved so that we don't even know where they live, my brother doesn't see the mental abuse.
My question is there anything I can do to get this child out of this situation, it breaks my heart that she is no longer a happy child.

Re: Child custody
Since it has been over one and half years since she resided with you, there is probably little, if anything you can do, as long as the child is not being abused or neglected.
What is the mother's role in all of this? Has she retained her rights, and if so, will she cooperate with you?
