Securing Fathers' Rights in Texas
When you and your spouse (or the other parent of your child) cannot come to a decision about custody or visitation, the decision is left to the judge. A family court judge is responsible for deciding which parent will have primary custody, which parent will have legal custody, and what type of visitation will be granted. The goal of any family court should be to preserve both parent's rights to spend time with the child, whenever possible. Sadly, this is not always possible. When circumstances have created barriers to your legal rights, we can step in and help fix the situation.
Father's rights may include the right to:
- File for changes in child support or custody
- Request enforcement action if the other parent doesn't follow the guidelines
- Make decisions about the child's education, healthcare, and religion
- Raise the child through a custody and visitation agreement
