Fathers often assume they have automatic parental rights, but in Texas, paternity must be legally established for custody, visitation, or child support.

📌 How to Establish Paternity in Texas
✅ Voluntary Acknowledgment: Both parents sign an AOP (Acknowledgment of Paternity).
✅ Court Order: If paternity is disputed, genetic testing may be required.

📌 Can Fathers Get Custody?
Yes! Texas courts do not favor mothers over fathers. Custody is based on the child’s best interests, considering:
✔️ Each parent’s involvement in the child’s life
✔️ Stability and ability to provide a safe home
✔️ Willingness to co-parent

If you're facing paternity, custody, or visitation challenges, we can help. Call (469) 443-6929 or visit stacyhendersonlaw.com for a free 15-minute consultation.

Grandparents play a vital role in a child’s life, but do they have legal rights to visitation or custody in Texas?

📌 When Can Grandparents Seek Custody?
If both parents are deemed unfit, absent, or deceased, a grandparent may petition for custody.

A court may grant visitation if:

✅ A parent is deceased, incarcerated, or declared incompetent.

Division of property and assets.
Spousal support agreements.

In Texas, child support is determined based on the noncustodial parent’s net income and the number of children supported. The standard guidelines include:

One child – 20% of net income
Two children – 25% of net income
Three children – 30% of net income
These percentages may be adjusted based on individual circumstances. If financial situations change, modifications to child support may be necessary. Ensuring that child support is fair and appropriate is essential for both parents and children.

Child custody cases in Texas are based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like parental involvement, stability, and the child’s needs. Texas law recognizes two types of custody:

✅ Joint Managing Conservatorship (JMC) – Both parents share decision-making responsibilities.
✅ Sole Managing Conservatorship (SMC) – One parent has the primary right to make key decisions.

While courts prefer joint custody, sole custody may be granted in cases involving neglect, abuse, or an unsafe environment. Understanding your rights is crucial—making the wrong move can impact your case.
