Texas Custody & Visitation questions and answers

• I want to know if I still have rights to get my child back, and if so, how would I go about starting the process?

  Asked in Dallas, TX | July 11, 2026

  A couple of years back, my baby's mother got her kids taken away, and one of them happened to be my daughter. We were going through a separation when she was going through CPS, but I stayed around to go to court and visit with my daughter, and now I've got my stuff together. I have my own place, and I’ve been working at the same job for over 15 years. I’m trying to see what I can do to get my daughter back.

• I want to change the child custody arrangement after the arrest of the father. How hard is that?

  Asked in Irving, TX | July 20, 2026

  I want to change the child custody arrangement. My girlfriend and I have lived together for the last three years. She is pregnant now. She has a 12-year-old daughter with another person. Her father gets visitation on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekend of the month. Over this last weekend, he was arrested for Abandoning or Endangering a Child, Imminent Danger of Bodily Injury (Bond: $50,000.00 Surety Bond), Driving While Intoxicated Third or More (Bond: $30,000.00 Surety Bond).
