Texas Paternity

If a child is born outside of marriage, a mother may want to legitimize her child and obtain child support from the father or a father may want to legitimize his child and guarantee his right to have custody of or a relationship with his child.

If a proper court order is entered declaring someone the legal father of a child, it will almost certainly not be able to be changed later. Additionally, there may a time limit on the ability to dispute or establish paternity. Not knowing your rights and duties in this area may have far-reaching and binding impact.
