What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I recently left a man that I was never married to, but lived with and have a 3 month old child with. This man was abusive and had substance abuse problems, which finally caused me to leave him since I did not want to raise a child in that type of environment.
Having a child inevitably makes a parent pose the question' "What will happen to my child in the event of my death?" This has been something I have been agonizing over. I want to write a will that plainly states that I want my child to be raised by family. I want to ensure that my baby's best interests are secured and I know that she will benefit most being raised by my family rather that her biological father if something should happen to me. My question is if I can legally do this? I know that she would not be safe with this man and the sheer thought of it makes me cringe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also, if I use the free will form online, is the document still legitimate or should I use software or hire an attorney?
