Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
Options?
OK this is it. My son had a child and was never married to the mother nor lived with her. She didn't list him on the BC. My family acknowledged from the start as her being our grandchild. As time went on she stayed more and more at our house until she was living there full time since July 03. She is almost 20 months. Her mother signed a notorized paper allowing us to get medical help and stating she was to live in our home. At first mommy called a few times a week, but the last month or so nothing. I have taken this child to the dr., supported her entirely and last week she decides they need to bond. She will not return her to us. I have even got her on a waiting list for an appointment to be tested for autism-Pdd. I have started her in home therapy with PT, OT, ECI. She was really responding. I just saw her and she is back to moaning and self-hitting. Regression is not close to what she has done. Also Mommy has alcohol induced seizures that she doesn't take medication for. Has had one as late as 2 weeks ago that I know of. She was not supposed to drive for 6 months. She continues to drive everyday with the children in the car. Do I have any legal options?

Re: Options?
When is the last date you had possession of the child?
That is a very important question. It will determine if you have "standing" to go to court and ask the Judge to grant you custody.
If you don't have "standing", then your son can ask for voluntary paternity.
If you would like a free phone consultation, please give me a call. I will discuss your case in greater detail and give you a price quote on our deposit. After deposit is paid, we offer a weekly payment plan.
Let me know if I can help you.
