Fathers’ Rights

Fathers' Rights in Texas

Dedicated Advocacy from a Galveston County Divorce Lawyer

In a divorce, both parents have equal rights in regards to child custody. Until a parent gives up their rights or is denied custody by the court, this does not change. While this may seem obvious, many fathers do not know that they have just as many rights as the mother in divorce. This unfortunate assumption often leads many fathers to unnecessarily sacrifice their rights.

If you are going through a divorce, you do not have to lose your rights as a father, simply because of social misconceptions or spousal bullying. Our team of Galveston County divorce attorneys at the Karenko Law Firm, P.A. has dedicated 30 years to the service of families in need of family law services.

What are my rights as a father in Texas?

It is important to understand that you do not lose rights as a father unless a court ruling has been established reflecting this truth. Until that day, your former spouse cannot stop you from interacting with your children in any way.

Common ways that your rights may be violated include:

  • Separation: If your spouse has removed your children from contact before custody has been granted, your rights as a father have been abused.
  • Lack of emergency notifications: As the father, you maintain the right to be notified whenever one of your children becomes seriously injured or ill.
  • Denial of contact: If you have tried to contact your children in any way but are being denied, then your rights have been ignored.
