Face Paternity Issues Head-On
Paternity issues can arise when parents were never together or when they lived together but were not married.
In order to have legal rights regarding your child, such as custody and visitation, you must establish paternity through the court system. Or, if you are seeking support from your child’s noncustodial biological parent, you also need paternity to be established.
A skilled lawyer can help make this process go more smoothly.
Establishing Paternity In Texas
Just because your name is listed on your child’s birth certificate, it does not entitle you to parental rights, such as visitation, custody, or a role in decision-making. It is in your best interests to establish paternity. Paternity can be established by both parents by going to court.
Once parental rights are granted, it is very difficult, and often costly, to change them.
