Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: custodial parent

You need to get in and visit with an attorney immediately. I know of no judge which will order you to turn over a one week old baby for visitation. I cannot even tell from the facts which you provided whether a formal parent-child relationship has been established between the father and the child. Since the two of you are not married, some formal action needs to take place before that relationship is legally established. Simply putting his name on the birth certificate does not necessarily establish this legal relationship. I am a board certified specialist inn the field of family law, practicing in the general Houston area. Contact me directly if you care to discuss this matter further. I can definitely assist you with this matter. I have handled many cases such as yours during my 20+ year legal career.

Re: custodial parent

There is no law that says he can or he can't. It's whatever you want to agree to - if you don't have an order of the court. Your next request might be - how do I get my baby back? I suggest you wait until you get a court order. Good Luck.
