Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Hi there,
I live in Texas, my brother got a girl pregnant. She planned on giving the baby away in Adoption, but my brother wants the baby, is there a way he could get it? or atleast either my mom or I get the baby? She says shes willing to give it to him, he's a responsible and very mature 17 year old, and has fallen in love with the fact of having a baby, he has a job, his own car, a place for the baby.
What would he need to do to have full custody of the baby?

As soon as the baby is born, he should file a paternity suit. In the suit, he will ask for custody of the baby. He gets a citation issued, and it is served on Mom, and then the lawsuit proceeds.
I recommend that you hire an experienced family law attorney to assist you in getting custody of this baby.
