Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

You probably need to meet with a family law attorney in person and discuss your concerns.

It appears that there is an order from a court regarding this child since there is child support established.

You can file an enforcement with a private attorney to try to collect the past due child support or have him go to jail for non-payment. Often the threat of jail will get the child support paid. Also, the judge might order him to pay some or all of your attorney's fees.

I don't know what you mean by "full custody". In Texas, even if he does not pay child support it does not mean that the father does not have parental rights. As your order probably states - child support and visitation are 2 separate issues and are not connected.

Many courts are unwilling to terminate or strip a father of all of their parental rights. You need to talk to a lawyer in the county where you live to see the judge's policy regarding modifying custody orders. The burden is on YOU to show that the current court orders should be changed. This is not always easy to do. You need an experienced family law attorney to help you with this matter.
