Fathers often experience difficulties when it comes to their parental rights in divorce, post-divorce, or unmarried situations.

Fathers’ Rights in Texas
It is important to understand that not only child custody orders, but child support orders and even marital property division agreements may not actually support your child’s best interests. For all these issues, you may need the services of a fathers’ rights attorney. Courts base custody decisions on what is in the best interests of a child. The basic understanding of family courts is that children best benefit from a continuing and meaningful relationship with both parents. Our Dallas-Forth Worth fathers’ rights attorneys are prepared to help fathers reach custody and other divorce settlement agreements that foster this basic premise.
Your rights and responsibilities as a father include the following:
01
Child custody and visitation
As the biological parent of the child(ren) you share with your spouse or co-parent, you have the right to be a meaningful part of your child’s life as well as to have the authority to make major life co-decisions with the other party about the child. Even if you are not awarded primary residential child custody, you are entitled to your share of parenting time, which may or may not be divided on a fairly equal basis, depending on the individual circumstances of your case.
02
Child support
As a biological father, you may be obligated to provide financial support for your child(ren). However, in some cases, this obligation may be divided between you and the child’s mother.
03
Right to defend your paternal rights
The right to defend your parental rights when they are being threatened with termination by the other party for any reason.
04
Right to defend yourself
The right to defend yourself against wrongful accusations of domestic violence which would prevent your right to have access to your children, whether during a divorce or afterwards.
If you are a father who is facing a Texas divorce or post-divorce matter where your parental rights have been violated or if you are an unmarried father who wishes to rightfully establish your paternity, you can turn to Marx, Altman & Johnson. Our Dallas-Fort Worth fathers’ rights attorneys are experienced family law litigators who will aggressively fight to ensure that your rights are asserted throughout any court proceedings. With more than 100 years of combined experience to draw upon, our team provides capable and compassionate legal support throughout all phases of your case.
Paternity
If you believe you are the biological father of a child born in an unmarried relationship who was not formally named the father at the time of the child’s birth, you may need to establish your parenthood through a paternity action. By doing so, you will be able to seek custody rights through the court.
At Marx, Altman & Johnson, our Dallas-Forth Worth fathers’ rights attorneys can guide you through this process. We urge that you be proactive in seeking to prove your paternity as soon as possible in order to increase the probability of your rights being recognized under Texas law.
