Single mothers have sole custody until the court rules otherwise, but in Texas you can get a jury trial.
In most breakups it is the mother who gets custody, however, the legal basis for deciding who gets custody is the welfare of the child, so if the father can demonstrate that he is a better parent, he can get custody.
The courts will determine who gets custody of the child. The courts will consider what is in the best interest of the child.
I believe that the mother should get custody and she gives the father a schedule to be on.
The mother has presume sole custody and control, regardless of the circumstances in all states.
If Mom has custody then she gets to decide where you live. You can move in with Dad if Mom agrees to it. Otherwise, Dad would have to petition for a change of custody.
The court decides and no.
Yes, she can. If someone else is challenging her for custody for some reason, though, then it will be up to the courts to determine who gets to keep the baby.
It depends on who has custody of the child. If you have complete custody then you do not legally have to change it.
This is usually the mother, unless there is a history of drug or alcohol use, mental instability or child abuse.
The baby's grandparents could get custody.
Texas law is nothing to mess around with, get a lawyer.
If you live in separate homes the law says possesion is nine tenths until you get a case started and the court will determins who does.
