Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

What rights does a father have if he was never married to the child's mother? The father abuses both alcohol and drugs, He manages to hold down a job, but can't seem to lay off the alchol and periodically pain killers permanently. My daughter has moved out of the apartment they shared and has taken their son with her. He also has not put the child on his medical insurance plan and the child is almost 2 months old. Is there anyway that my daughter can force him to cover the child on his insurance and help provide financial support?

You need to retain a family law attorney and file a suit affecting the parent child relationship. This will clarify the rights of the parents and will set child support.
