You need to hire a lawyer. Usually the Attorney General does not get involved in issues of conservatorship or visitation, only child support. At some point paternity was established and it led to the order of child support. Absent some unusual circumstande, the parents are appointed Joint Managing Conservators, one being primary and the other with Standard Possession. It isn't based upon whether his name is on the birth certificate, but what is in the child's best interest.

Email is probably better since my phone rings all day and I can check my email when I get a few minutes.
At least then you can get some peace of mind.
It looks like you live in the Houston area. My office is in your zip code.
