It is not uncommon for fathers to feel unfairly dealt with in a child custody settlement in a divorce or paternity case. Mothers sometime will refuse to let the father see or communicate with their child, even when the father is paying his share of the child support. If you have a child, you have certain rights as defined by the state of Texas, and our father's right's attorneys can fight for your right to be involved in your child’s life.

What Are My Rights as a Father?

If you are presumed to be the father of a child, legally determined to be the father, or a man who has been judged to be the father by a court, you have certain rights when it comes to your child. Our fathers' rights attorneys can fight for these rights in court so you can have the role in your child’s life that you desire.

Fathers have the following rights and duties when it comes to their children:

  • Physical possession and directing the moral and religious training of their child
  • The duty of care, control, protection, and reasonable discipline of the child
  • The duty to support the child with such things as clothing, food, shelter, and health care
  • The right to represent the child in legal action
  • The right to inherit from and through the child
  • The right to consent to the child’s marriage and enlistment in the armed forces
  • The right to make decisions regarding the child’s education

Normally both parents have equal right to these until a court creates or modifies the statutory rights of a parent.

We can Ensure You are Treated Fairly

When one parent tries to encroach on your parental rights by what is known as parental alienation, this can be contested in court. Alienation employs more subtle attempts to deny access to the child by deliberately straining the child’s relationship with the other parent in some way. Our dedicated fathers' rights lawyers know how to bring such actions to light in order to restore your rights to your child.
