Hey Ashley, you do have rights to have visitation with the child, so you will need to contact a Child Custody Lawyer in Texas to start the litigation process. If baby sitters can get visitations, you can as well as you are a blood relative. Be prepared for attorney fees like $3,500 to $5,500 in the state of texas unless you decide to represent yourself in court. Feel free to contact my office and speak with a case manager at 877-866-8665 or email help@smsattorneys.com to go over your options. Licensed in New York and New Jersey but if you decide to represent yourself in court with family law paralegals taking care of the paper-work you can keep your expense at $1,500 or less. Looking forward to hearing from you.
