Fathers' Rights
Fathers in Texas have the right to be involved in their children's lives. As a loving parent, you have the same rights to child custody, visitation and child support that a mother does. Our culture has shifted to make room for dads and fathers as caregivers, and not just providers. If you would like to pursue your rights as a father, call Lauren Cain at 972-377-0016 for a confidential consultation.
Not only are men now seen as caregivers-women are income earners. They are expected to contribute to children's material needs, and can not demand as much from spouses as they once did. Off-sets for their income are made, in calculating the amount fathers must pay.
Just as distribution of property after divorce is equal, access to children can be equal, not favoring women, as was once the case. Men need no longer be afraid that divorce or separation will result in their paying much, and getting little, in access and other rights.
It's a fundamental question for mothers, fathers and children in the state of Texas.
At the Frisco law office of attorney Lauren Cain, we represent:
- Mothers seeking to prove the paternity of their children so they can receive child support.
- Fathers who want to know if they are a child's parent so they can have visitation rights.
- Fathers who suspect they are not a child's biological parent and do not want to pay child support.
The State cares about recognition of paternity because it wants both parents involved financially and emotionally in the lives of their children.
Family law attorney Lauren Cain is committed to providing fathers and unmarried parents a say in their child's future. Contact Lauren Cain for a free initial consultation.
Paternity and Unmarried Parents
In Texas, a married man is assumed to be the father of his spouse's children. If you are unmarried, there is no such assumption.
An unmarried father's right to be involved in his own children's lives hinges on obtaining a legal recognition of paternity. Without it, the mother could move away with the children, leaving you with no legal right to see them ever again.
Without a paternity determination, an unmarried mother cannot obtain child support from the father of her baby.
