Girlfriend is pregnant...Want Custody! TX

My girlfriend is pregnant, however we are no longer together. She says she does not want the child and wants to give me full custody of it. Are their any forms she can sign before the child is born to give me custody of it? Also, does she have any rights to change her mind after the child is born or after the paperwork is signed?

Thanks in advance

Nothing can be done until after the baby is born and your paternity has been established. After that happens, you need to have an attorney draw up papers regarding custody and/or child support, file them with the court and have them signed by a judge. If you don't, mom will be able to change her mind at any time and take the child back. If you get full legal custody, she will have to file for modification through the court to have any changes made,

yes she will still have rights to the child

just because she wont have custody doesnt mean she wont have rights. she is the child's mother, and always will be untill her rights are terminated.

You may register prior to the child's birth with the Putative Father's Registry
and may also file a paternity action then the court will order DNA tests at birth and you can begin filing for custody etc.

Registry/Paternity Requirements to Receive Notice
Statute: Fam. Code §§160.402(a); 160.312

* The putative father may file before the child's birth, but no later than the 31st day after the child's birth.
* Registration requires a completed Bureau of Vital Statistics form, signed and acknowledged by the putative father.

Statute: Fam. Code § 160.414

* The putative father may at anytime revoke a notice of intent to claim paternity by submitting a written statement which has been signed and notarized.

Access to Information Maintained in Registry

* The birth mother
* A court
* An authorized agency
* A licensed child-placing agency
* A child support enforcement agency

Kelly,
Please stop answering questions when you don't know the answer.

ok now

Kelly,
Please stop answering questions when you don't know the answer.

What was wrong with the answer he gave? If the mother does not give up her parental rights but only custody she would still have rights to the baby.

You need to understand Kelly is a twice banned member on this forum and banned on other forums, she has at least 5 + monikers here. SHe doesn't read the quesitons, her post was not responsive to OP's questions

Are their any forms she can sign before the child is born to give me custody of it? Also, does she have any rights to change her mind after the child is born or after the paperwork is signed?

Where does she mention any forms or references to citations in her answer?

 

[acmb05]

He also asked

If she had any rights to change her mind afterwards and that is the questioned that was answered by scraedandalone.

 

[scaredandalone]

to rmet

she will still have parental rights to the child, she just wont have custody. so why dont you get off my back!

 

[AHA]

Get a room, and spare us another trashed thread.

For another who cannot read....

If she had any rights to change her mind afterwards and that is the questioned that was answered by scraedandalone.

OP asked if she had the "rights" to change her mind about custody...this question was not directed to her constitutional rights as a parent...Kelly like the moron she is responded as if a constitutional question was asked....I realize that exposure to this forum has given you and Kelly some limited knowledge with regard to family law...however, a few posts will not a lawyer make...nor will a few posts apparently teach you to read...Kelly I still do not have an explanation from you as to why your ex's disability requires periodic jaw replacement.

Kelly,

You know ...I am aware that you love to get into it with rmet...but on this you are lookin' stupid...kelly is a (according to her) 12 1/2 year old girl that has bizarre posts all over the internet....so just back off you are WRONG!

Well, I have a pretty general idea of what my actions I should take. Thanks for all your input.
