Talk to a lawyer. Many people are confused about the "rules" for a common law marriage.
If you are married, then you need to file for divorce. If not, the you should file a Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship. In either, you will get temporary orders that describe who is the primary caregiver and the possession schedule and child support for the other parent.
