A: I would suggest that you hire a family law attorney in the San Antonio area right away. The attorney will be able to assist you in putting forward your best argument for the upcoming final hearing or perhaps assist in settling the matter via mediation.

The fact that your child has been living with you is helpful but not necessarily determinative. An attorney will be able to discuss your situation and advise you as to how to best proceed.
