Re: Custody

You can go to any law library and see if they have a copy of the Texas Family Code and a copy of the Texas Family Law Practice Manuals. These 2 things should help you.

However, I always urge someone to hire an attorney so that the documents are done properly.

Since you say that you have no money to hire an attorney, you can certainly try to handle the matter yourself.

Good luck!
