Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Re: custody

She needs to get a lawyer and file a Petition Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship, and be prepared to establish the factors you have set out, to obtain primary custody of her child.

Re: custody

This is more complicated than it seems and some of it depends on how long the child has been with the father and whether or not there is a Court Order in place. Your friend really needs to talk to a family law attorney. Feel free to have her call may office to set up an appointment. I do not charge for initial consultations.

Re: custody

You have not provided sufficient facts for fullly analyzing your issue. You did not mention a marriage, so has paternity ever been established? I can assist your friend with her legal matter and would be willing to visit more about the potential issues involved in a case such as this, if you will contact me directly.

Re: custody

Based on what you have written, there are some questions which need to be answered prior to providing an adequate avenue to proceed down. First, are these two people married? Second, does your friend live with the father? Third, how old is the child? Fourth, is the child a male or female? Fifth, does your friend have adequate admissible proof to show a court that the mentioned allegations are valid. Your friend should contact a local family law attorney to fully discuss the aspects of the case. If my local family law firm can assist your friend with this legal issue or any other legal matter, please contact my paralegal Tina ([email protected]) to arrange for an initial consultation.
