Re: Custody
You need to contact an attorney to discuss this situation. You need to get something filed with the Court seeking return of the child. If you are married to the father, then you need to file for divorce and set a hearing for temporary orders. If you were not married to the father there is even a question as to whether a formal and "legal" parent child relationship has been established. I am a board certified specialist in the field of family law practicing in the Houston area. I would be glad to discuss your available options if you would contact me directly.
Re: Custody
First you will probably need to establish paternity, then as part of that proceeding a custody arrangement can be set up. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, feel free to call my office and set up an appointment. I do not charge for initial consultations.
