Texas custody laws and rules for child support. My friend is the unwed father of a baby that tested positive for drugs as well as the mother upon birth. They were living together until this happened. A CPS worker supposedly showed up at 2am and stated that she had to either give her mom custody or the baby would go to foster care. her mom hired an attorney and convinced the young and unwed couple that this would be for the best as they had no place to live. So Shan went to live with her mom so that she was with the baby. her mom of course would not allow T to stay with them. CPS ordered that Shan go into rehab just two weeks after the baby was born inwhich she did and her mom refused T the right to see his child. This was supposed to have been a joint temporary custody with each person retaining their parental rights however Shan and T are supposedly not allowed to be alone with baby or take him anywhere without the grandma present. This sounds like a crock if you ask me.T didnt test positive for drugs Shan did. Suddenly doing what is in the best intrest was only for the best interest of the grandma in an attempt to control her daughter. There was supposed to be a return in custody to T and Shan but instead there is a child support hearing. Can they order child support for baby if parents are together just not living together? I dont think grandma is going to give up custody of baby that easily. She thinks her daughter is irresponsible and incapable even though she spent a month away from her newborn in rehab. A month inwhich grandma became way too attached. What are their rights?
