Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I have been separated from my boyfriend for 6 months now we have a 6 month old baby and he wants to take full custody of her. Even tho he doesn't see her and hasn't helped financially. Is there any way i can take him to court and get full custody?

What is most likely to happen is that you will both be named joint managing custodians of the child but the child will be placed in your care & he will probably - very probably - get only supervised visits until she is older and he takes a parenting class.
You should take the initiative to file and get orders. As it stands, if he took the baby from you physically, he could do so because it is his child, too, and there are no court orders.
