Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My ex-girlfriend took off with our daughter 7 weeks ago, didn't tell me where she was going, and changed her phone number. Her father has told me that her intentions are to never let me see my daughter again. How do I go about getting a court order for visitation?

The court order that establishes paternity will also require you to pay child support until the child turns 18 or finishes high school.
