Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

child support

Ive been ordered to pay child support on my son whom I havent seen in two years. His mother hasnt had possesion of him for almost two years due to being deemed unfit by the grandmother. Now the grandmother has gotten an attorney and is pushing to have primary custody of my son with the mother having joint and me having nothing, though I will still be obligated to pay the same amount of support Ive been paying all along. Im not trying to get out of paying anything, my problem is how is the mother not having to pay a dime of child support and Im stuck with the full amount???? Ive received letters from the grandmothers attorney stating what my rights would be under the new order and told me that if I didnt agree to them there would be a hearing in April... the mother has already signed off on the paperwork and Im the only one disputing it. Is there something I can do or file that will make her equally responsible for child support? If so what will something like this cost?
