How do you change the custody to the father if the mother agrees to it?

How would a father go about changing the custody arrangment? If the parents were never married and have agreeed to that its in the best interest of the child. We live in Texas so would you have to go through the attorney general or the court where the child support was set up?

First, see the guardian ad litem, the childrens' attorney, appointed to the case. Then have them assess the feasibility of the change. Then take it to the judge, if all is well with the attorneys.

You need only see a Certified Mediator to put together the modification agreement on custody and child support. You file this with the Clerk of the Court, who will certify it and set a court date. On that day you both go to court to swear to the contents of the agreement. You than take the agreement to the AG office to register the child support agreement. Easy Peasy

Your father has to file for custody in the county you live in. If everything is worked out ahead of time court should be quick.
