You need to file a legal document and ask the court to name YOU the managing conservator of the child.
Since you are the other parent, you are PRESUMED to be the next person in line to be named the MANAGING CONSERVATOR.
If the child has been living for more than 6 months with someone else, that person can ask the court to name them (EVEN A NON-RELATIVE!!!) the managing conservator.
Therefore, you need to do something IMMEDIATELY!
I'd been in an attorney's office next week!
Good luck!
