You can file a suit to establish the parent-child relationship if you were not married. (A suit establishing the parent child relationship is essentially where the court officially says who is dad and who is mom of a child) If you were married and the suit to establish the parent-child relationship was combined with the divorce, then you could file an agreed motion to modify the custody orders and propose a modification consistent with the signed agreement. Agreed motions are always substantially more cheaper than contested motions.
