Dallas Fathers' Rights Lawyers
Understanding Fathers' Custody Rights in Texas
The traditional stereotype that fathers are the breadwinner in the family, with the mother serving as the primary caretaker, has shifted dramatically in recent years. In the past, there was no question that fathers faced an uphill battle throughout the divorce process. There existed an assumption that awarding custody to the mother was always in the child's best interest. Luckily, this outdated way of thinking is no longer the norm and has moved its way through Texas courts.

What Are the Obstacles to Texas Fathers' Rights During Custody Cases?
Frequently, both parents are fighting for custody of their children. Suppose your wife refuses to budge on custody decisions. In that case, we will aggressively represent you in all aspects and pursue the best outcome possible to give you continued access to your children post-divorce.
Conversely, it's unfortunately not uncommon for a mother to allege that her husband was abusive or neglected a child to sway the court into believing that the father is unfit to care for their child. Our attorneys have experience with cases involving false accusations of abuse, alcohol or drug dependency, and many more.
