Texas Paternity Lawyer | Child Support | Paternity Test | Visitation & Custody
Paternity proceedings involve parents who have had a child at a time in which they are not married. Often in paternity proceedings, parents are seeking to establish their right to child support, visitation or custody.
A father may need to bring a paternity action to establish that he is the biological father of the child. Prior to the time that a man is legally recognized as the biological father of a child, he has no visitation or custody rights. By contrast, the mother of the child may not obtain a child support order for the care of her children until the paternity of her child has been legally recognized.
If you live in the Richardson-Plano area or the surrounding communities and require legal representation for a paternity case, contact the Law Offices of Sharon Merrick. At my office, I represent mothers and fathers in paternity actions. I can provide help in a variety of ways, including:
- Establishment of paternity
- Establishment of a child support award
- Establishment of a set visitation schedule
- Establishment of legal conservatorship (the term for custody in Texas)
I am committed to helping mothers and fathers protect their rights. If you have questions about child support, visitation or custody, I am pleased to offer a free consultation to answer your questions. I practice exclusively in family law matters, so you can be confident that you will receive the knowledgeable advice and experienced representation you need.
