Understanding Mothers’ Rights in Texas

Rather than letting a judge decide, mediation gives you and your spouse the opportunity to craft a divorce settlement or custody that fits your family’s needs and values.

At Setzer Law Firm, we act as your legal advocate during mediation, helping you prepare, review agreements, and ensure your rights are protected throughout.

Texas law treats both parents equally under the law, but that doesn’t always mean mothers receive fair treatment—especially when facing aggressive custody battles or unfair accusations. At Setzer Law Firm, we help mothers assert their rights in cases involving:

  • Legal and physical custody (conservatorship)
  • Parenting plans and visitation
  • Child support enforcement or defense
  • Relocation or modification requests
  • Protection from Parental Alienation

Our goal is to ensure your voice is heard and your child’s best interests remain at the forefront of every decision.

Custody and Parenting Time for Mothers

  • Enforce existing custody or visitation agreements

If the other parent is interfering with your rights or violating court orders, we can take swift legal action to enforce your custody terms.
